My space paintings are inspired by the colors in the nature surrounding me. The lila flowers in our garden on Gran Canaria were the inspiration this time.

This painting is made on Gran Canaria and influenced by the beautiful beaches on the Island. All my paintings are influenced by the colors of the nature and the beaches on Gran Canaria and they all have a "in space name".

it took some time to do my diy sign. But I am very proud of the result. I am also revealing the opening of my own studio in Särö, Sweden, where you are welcome to view all my creations.

I am showing Burras beach on a space journey. This is a true inspiration of the Playa las Burras in the south of Gran Canaria. The sand is dark and gold shimmering in the sun. A beautiful place.

I am working on a diy project. I love getting an idea and create and then see the result. This is part 2 in this diy project.

It's a very rainy day. I have decided to do something useful for the near future. Can you guess?

I arranged a one day vernissage in the garden at Rocas Rojas in the south of Gran Canaria to show my watercolor- and seaglass art.

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.
