The sun is shining on the Swedish Westcoast now and then. Spring is really the very best time to search for new diy art projects. Today I went to the nearby beach in Särö searching for the blue mussels that I use in my diy art.

Some weeks ago I was picking the sweet and beautifully colored wild figs in the mountains of Gran Canaria. This painting is influenced by this fantastic fruit.

After a long search I eventually found a very hidden seaglass beach on Gran Canaria. This started a new era of diy art creations. Most of the seaglass is green to dark green as the beer Tropical is delivered in green bottles.

A little potpurri of art created by me, Marika René, winter season 2024/2025 on Gran Canaria.

The beachcombing favourite object blue mussels in artwork on the wall of our entrance in Särö, Sweden.

Time flies and it is time to go back to Sweden from Gran Canaria. The sourdough that is used for baking pizza and bread is ready and so is all the new artwork.

It wasn’t easy to find the correct lemon yellow, but I think I succeeded! I am very proud of this painting as the colors make me and people who see it happy.

After a trip to Lagos in Portugal I brought an extra bag of seashells with me. I have started up my work of making vacation memory artwork.

This painting is called Burras in Space. It is the name of the beach that inspired me and also the name of the painting.

I was very proud and happy to see the figs in space framed and on a wall. The painting really matches the interior!
