No 20. Turkish delight - a water colour as an hommage to Paul Klee. He went to Tunis, this is in a different direction, but never mind, all roads lead to Rome anyway.

No 19. Jumping at the Savannah. This is a fairly small water colour with black ink on fine textured paper. A jeopard jumping for joy right in the middle of the night, moonlight, way out in the desert. The title i of course a play with words, I was painting it with Jumping at the Savoy (the melody) on the radio.

No 17. The Tower of Babel (water colour with black ink).

No 16. A Haunted House III (water colour and ink painting). This is a variation of a picture I made , inspired by a deserted barn in the countryside. One wonders if the wall really is a wall or possibly something else, e.g. an image of the sky when the suns sets? Anyway, to me it is a thrilling picture.

No 15. In Love II (Water colour). Being in love is a fantastic state of the heart. Most people would agree on that. Can anything compete with it? - I painted till picture very quickly, with clera colours and lots of spontaneity.

No 14. Benedict (ink painting). A portrait of a little boy, yet a great philosopher.
Black ink and a brush on paper.
No 13. Dancing in the Woods (water colour). I was on a cycling holiday on an island in the Baltic sea (Ă…land), when I caught sight of some windtorn trees. It looked as if they were dancing or like some mysterious creatures (elfs?) were carrying out a ceremonial dance.
No 12. Two friends talking about life (ink painting). A chat in the sofa, relaxed. Maybe one could call it a double portrait.
No 11. The Green Sea (water colour on paper). Sometimes the sea could appear greenish, nice with the yellowish sand on the beach I thought, and painted this picture.
No 10. No Name, No Title (Water colour). This painting was inspired by the colours of grass by the shores where I live and made in a furious speed.
No 9. A Haunted House (water colour and ink). Buildings tend to fascinate me, they seem to have a soul. And they respond to the way one treats them. This is an old deserted barn right in the countryside, with broken glasses and doors half open. Does one dare to enter?

No 8. Kerstin and Jessica watching a film. One evening I was a bit bored to watch TV so I made a quick water colour of these two ladies, my wife and my daughter, sitting in a corner of the drawing room, watching a thriller.

No 7. When my daughter was a little lady of maybe five or six she had long curly hair, was always running, dancing or doing things. However, for a tenth of a second I got this impression of her. A Very Peculiar Lady With a Beautiful Hair is the long name of this little picture, a water colour with ink.

No 6. Another picture I made on a theme - Water. How suitable for a water colour.

No 5. I thought I should try to paint some still lifes, went into a departmental store and bought some exotic fruits. Why not combine work with pleasure, I thought. The technique in my previous pictures shown here, is a sort of "wet in wet", fluid. In this still life the paint has dried in layers and new layers of colours applied over it. From light to darker nuances. Still life with department store fruits.

No 4. On a holiday in Denmark we passed a bright red field, first I thought it was tulips, but soon discovered it was poppies. This water colour with black ink was painted on a Schoellershammer paper, which gives an impression of a rough texture. Distant poppies.

No 3. The light and heat from the sun meet the cooling water of the sea, a drama one could watch every morning. Unless it isn't raining, like today.. Good Morning, Sunshine! is a fairly small watercolour, about 18x24 cms. I love the manganese blue.

No 2. Life is full of sharp angles. One could easily get hurt by them, I thought, so maybe one should create something soft instead? So I invented this staircase with a lead for people who hate right angles. Not a very useful thing maybe, the more necessary though, wouldn't you agree?

No 1. This first picture is a water colour on paper and I call it The Big Hug. The red area is the back of a man, a woman has her arms around his waist - the greenish area. Their heads meet in the left corner at the top. The rest, I suppose speaks for itself.
