A few days ago I took the bike out to an industrial area not far from where we live, and sat down in the shadow behind a parked trailer to paint this old building. For once I had real painting gear with me, and a sheet of proper watercolour paper.
I find so much inspiration in this place, the old buildings, the dirt around them, big vehicles and strange constructions for industrial use... It never ends. And when a painting is done, you bike one block away and find the next fantastic sight to paint.
20 x 20 cm, pencil and watercolours on Saunders Waterford watercolour paper.

Absolutely luscious, Nina...fresh, rich, gorgeous...
I love all your work, Nina, but especially this one with the drips and dabs! ;o)
I love everything about this----
This is fabulous Nina. The transition from the building to the wonderful bottom half is perfect.
Oh, this is fabulous! I really love this one.
This looks great!
This is wonderful! And, we're all so lucky that you live near such an inspiring place!

Verrry nice, Nina. (As usual.)
Nice painting. I love the shadows.
You inspire, and charm. Thank you.
Really do enjoy touring through your blog posts and having such a wonderful unique taste of Sweden. Charming fresh sketches with beautiful colours. I have a friend in Norfolk here in England who is married to a Swede and she lived their for 15 years or so teaching English - so I feel a connection with your lovely country. First found your wonderful work through the Mariman books you did with Anita.
This is gorgeous, Nina. I always love your work, but I think this subject really works with your beautiful style. It's been way too long since I've had time to peruse your blog, and I'm having a wonderful time!
Nina, you have a wonderful way of balancing strong design with "loose" painterly application. I enjoy your work immensely!

The bottom half of the painting punctuates it perfectly! :)
