Surrounded by Master Kjarval

Karl og Kjarval - Me and the Master - Oil on Canvas, 12x12"

I've been craving to paint this piece since I shot the reference for it at a Kjarval exhibit in December 2008, finally it was it's turn at the easels.

Studio and the view from my studio

I can't stop talking about how happy I am to be back at work and to have my own studio to go to every morning, without having to clean up my mess and make sure no little hands touch my wet canvas. I am also super happy with the view from my studio, over looking Mt. Esja, my favorite mountain (along with Mt. Tamalpais, CA). I suspect I'll paint Mt. Esja many, many times in the future...
