This is a portrait (oil on paper) I've been working on for months. Can't seem to finish it. Ever. I keep on changing stuff, like the color of her hair/face, the shape of the sweater, you name it! 

Well, this is how it looks like behind the scenes. I put just a tiny bit of every color I intend to use on a piece of plastic (I am out of palette sheets) and then I mix them until you can't recognize them any longer. I'm using a very thin brush for the details (the one on the picture is a size 1).  

This summer you are able to visit an exhibition with pieces of art signed Picasso and Nesjar at the Art Museum in Kristinehamn. Today was the big inauguration with speeches, concerts and a play written by Picasso. No cameras were allowed, but at least I have this photo of the three of us from the art association (Maud Sandström, the chairman Ola Magnusson and I).

I always say you can only change a person to a certain percentage, let's say 10 %. The other 90 % you just have to accept. If you can't, then you will be very miserable having that person/friend in your life.

Having that said, I think we ought to be open to suggestions from others and to do our very best to make changes within these moldable 10% we have (or maybe I only have 8% left now that my youth has passed by). 


Parts of me are still moldable as a little bit of clay.

My first hand has started to dry. I went over it with a moistured sponge.

Peer Kusiv always knows how to make a perfect track. Throwing in a new (?) remix from someone called Nate too. It has this little surprise at 3:03. Listen, you wont be disappointed! 

Finally I can update my home page from a computer again! The last months I've only been able to log in through my cell-phone, and there I don't have access to all the features like uploading video-clips.

I'm celebrating by sharing one of my favorite deep house songs at the moment. 

Unless the one who ordered the portrait wants any alterations I call it done! 3 thin layers of acrylic and 3 additional layers of oil later...

I love her little freckles and lines. Since the overall contrast in the picture is quite low, the portrait would look much flatter without those little details. Just compare to one of the first layers below.

I've very much enjoyed working on this - and I see why whoever gave you those eyes just had to take them back. <3
