A while back my aunt paid a visit. She paints watercolors too and suggested we could share the passion and paint something when we had a few hours of free time.
I chose to paint one of my neighbors Jersey cows. I still had a few unused photos of them from my earlier adventure to the Jersey cow fields nearby. This one was extremely cute as she stood there peacefully chewing on a dandelion flower. I just had to paint her.
I very much like some of the old Danish poster artist’s work. I think this painting has some of the same charm, and I especially like how the background turned out and how the dandelion and the cow’s tail and ear breaks free of the frame.
Today I drew a Viking Age cloak pin from Hedeby (Haithabu). I got a photo of the piece at Moesgaard Museum a few years back. The piece is tiny. It is bend and scratched and exhibited in a very dark room with many other treasures. It’s very easy to overlook when visiting the museum.
