Twenty Nine Of Thirty

Here is a painting that I have wanted to paint for quite a while; I spotted the sheep on a visit to Sweden. This was late on Midsummer's Eve. 

It never really got dark at all and when we finally got to sleep, the roosters began crowing about two a.m. It was one of the best stays on an island that I ever had. Midsummer was incredibly fun, especially dancing after the midsummer pole was raised.

This lovely island is in the Baltic sea, not far from the capital city.  The Stockholm archipelago is the largest archipelago in Sweden and second largest in the Baltic sea.  The archipelago extends from Stockholm about forty miles to the east.  There are about thirty thousand islands and islets. 

In 1719 this area had about 3,000 inhabitants, mostly fishermen.  Today this archipelago is a popular holiday spot with about 50, 000 vacation cottages, mostly owned by Stockholmers.

Some years back, my husband and I traveled around Sweden with my son and his fiance to meet her family including her wonderful grandmother. Hampton and Kim are now married and expecting their second child in November. Needless to say, we are very excited.

This painting is a scene from Sweden several summers ago when we traveled there. I would love to go back to this island again and revisit my daughter in law's family. These little buildings are close to the water and are used for storage of boating supplies and necessities.

Another example of the flowers growing on the Swedish island of Olund. It was so much fun to paint these flowers.

Thanks, as always, for viewing!

Flower from Olund

Adam and Eve Orchid, 6 x 6 " oil on panel

This is a flower that grows in Sweden, near the Baltic sea. It was photographed on the island of Olund, one of the most beautiful places I have seen.  The light on it made it seem to have many vibrant hues, although it was one color.

Olund House

Olund House

This is Yvonne's house in Sweden, on the island of Olund. She is a wonderful artist and we had the pleasure of visiting her on the island while this house was being redone so that she could move into it. We were there for Midsummer Holiday and there were almost twenty four hours of daylight.

I love the houses in Sweden and also the people. My son's wife, Kim, was born in Sweden so we traveled with them and met many of her delightful family members.
