Well, I didn't find the mushroom I was looking for, but I did find some incredibly photogenic amanitas. Yes I know it's cliché, but LOOK AT THEM. Absolutely spotless. #fungifriends

If I'm low on inspiration, I can still always paint a little house on a little island. I don't think the guy who lives here was expecting company.

Some of you may not be familiar with Näcken/Nøkken, but all you really need to know about it is that if you ever come across a naked dude playing violin in the water - Do not approach!

Haven't painted in a while. Been too busy building my greenhouse. I was not aware that I was going to actually build it when I made the drawing, but here we are. Quite proud of myself. Now I just have to figure out how to build a door...
Photo of a greenhouse under construction. It is painted green with a lean-to roof. It is surrounded by trees in the background, grass in the foreground, and there are long raised beds on its sides. Plus a bonus of building materials and tools scattered around. Sorry for the mess.A drawing of a similar greenhouse, only longer and not so messy.

That awkward moment when the person you're telling an awesome fact about a tree does not care about trees :(

I'm very low on inspiration regarding my usual painting subjects.. On the other hand I'm very excited about garden design, so some painting does get done.

Yes. Now that it has been suggested, something electric would have worked better. These only stay alight until the snow above starts melting and dripping down 😅

Brother Mort liked the peace and solitude of his herb garden but even so a visit from Sister Dot and her latest tranche of dirty jokes rarely went unappreciated

It is very rare that we get proper snow around here, so when we do, it is very important to go outside and build as many snow ghosts as you can.

While we're on the subject of houses, here are two little kiosks that live in Helsinki. The plan was to relax and make a few easy and simplified paintings.. I did not follow the plan. I drew all of the details...

I lost count on how many hours I've spent on inking. But it's many. Not even halfway through. My hand hurts. I have regrets. Help

This was my christmas day. Happily hanging out with all my besties. How was yours? Ps. Don't worry about the stuck cat. He likes is there.
A self portrait in profile of me at my desk, painting the same portrait - with one cat on my shoulder, one dog sleeping on my lap, and another cat stuck between me and the back of the chair that I'm sitting on (don't worry he's okay. That's actually his favourite spot).

This is what happens if you leave your hot kettle unattanded.
A watercolour painting depicting a backlit tea serving set up. Sunlight shines in from the window behind, there's a plant on the windowsill.
Three tiny fairies, barely taller than the teacups, are apparently stealing tea from the kettle. One sits on the lid of the jar of honey, which stands on the table closest to the viewer. She is holding a bottle cap with steam coming out of it - we can assume that it contains tea. The second fairy stands on the edge of the kettle lid which stands on the table, leaning up against the kettle, to get her up in height to scoop up tea from the kettle with a teaspoon. She is holding the spoon, filled with tea, just about to pour up tea to the third fairy, who is sitting on the spout, holding out the thimble she is using for a cup.

I know the Internet is for cats, so I'd like to announce that these two idiots are doing fine. They lost their mother at 6 weeks old, so I am their father now. I think I'm doing okay. They don't know their names yet, but do respond to "cat boys". The dog is offended by their presence..

The worst part about not going to the beach so often anymore, is that when I do, all the stones look cool and must be inspected. What used to be a 40 minute walk has taken almost two hours. The dog is very tired. My pockets are very heavy.

Less than a month to go to my exhibition! I realised I didn't have a proper artist bio to display, but I hate writing those, so I made this thing instead. It basically says that I'm very good at chopping wood, very bad at dancing, and I like rocks and mushrooms. That should be enough, right?

Wild strawberry season is almost over. These Nisse are hurrying to collect as many as possible before it's too late, and I should too! . . For my Scandinavian pals: Yes, the plural of Nisse in English is Nisse. I have decided that it makes sense.
