I went on a painting journey to Sweden. In the video you can watch the journey through the forests and rock formations on the West Coast. Read more >>

This might be one of the most beautiful spots along the west coast of Sweden. There was a kind of pristine brightness around there when we visited. The afternoon sun, the crystal clear water, and the light pink and green rocks. I’m very drawn to the rocks. Perhaps it’s because we don’t have them in… Read more >>

The water is reasonably calm, but the little bit of wind that is there gently covers the surface with wave ripples. My eyes hover over the colors that are displayed by the water surface. The top and the back of each wave reflect the colors of the sky back to me, very light and blue,… Read more >>

This is the third time we have visited Sweden, and each time I’m blown away by the stunning diversity of the landscapes you encounter here. Everywhere I look, I see a painting! Sometimes when I am painting outside in the Netherlands I feel as if I am doing something that is not part anymore of… Read more >>

Today we visited the Stora Fjället nature reserve, which is near Granvik. And it was an absolute feast for the eyes! It reminded me a little of Tiveden National Park, which is also nearby, but it was quieter and more “wild,” so to say. Trees that have fallen were just left where they were. Only… Read more >>

18:53 – I am now in the woods near the cottage we are currently staying. It is a forest with predominantly birch and pine trees. And there is a very old, thick birch tree lying here that has fallen over, and it is already quite far in its decomposition. It just looks really beautiful, with… Read more >>

4:58 – Yesterday we arrived in Brinkamåla, where we have a small cabin for two nights on a hill in the forest. We were here in 2024 as well, and back then I painted trees on rock plateaus covered with reindeer lichen. Now everything already has a bit more of a soft, warm tint to… Read more >>

6:30 – We are on our way to Sweden, and have spent the night in a caravan close to the sea in Skælskør. As I write this, I am looking at the sea and the wind is blowing very hard. On a trip like this, I always really look forward to the landscapes we are… Read more >>

It is a sunny afternoon in the pine forest, and we are lying on a blanket. A short break during a bike ride. I am looking around a bit and enjoying the sounds. The crickets, woodpeckers, and small cicadas. I am also looking at the colors I see. The trunks of the pine trees standing… Read more >>

7:50 – A crow is screaming loudly, which is quite a contrast to the still water. There are a lot of those water striders sitting on the water, without moving. Everything seems to still be asleep. I brought a small canvas with me and plan to paint a section of the waterfront. 9:14 – I… Read more >>
