These last couple of weeks have been far too intense for me to even properly formulate words to write in my head. But I’ve done things, and I photographed some of them. So, I’ll just show you that instead.
I went to an exhibition at the Swedish National Museum. They were showing paintings by Carl Larsson, a Swedish artist who was active about a hundred years ago. Probably one of the most famous Swedish painters, at least in Sweden. It was a really nice exhibition.
I also went to my second croquis class, this time with a male model. And turns out, it is so much harder sketching a man. More edginess. Lina thinks it’s because we’re not as used to the male body, because it isn’t as exposed in media and culture as the female body. She might be on to something.
On a field trip to Reimersholme, while searching for ecosystem services, we found some awesome street art.
And one Saturday, I met up with almost all former classmates from the Tarfala course by Tyresta National Park, and we went on an autumn hike. Big parts of the park burned down 14 years ago, and the burned site has in no recovered, covered in pine skeletons and successional birches.
We grilled hot dogs by a lake, and I learned that soy hot dogs are worthless to grill on a stick. They fall apart.
Hopefully, I’ll have some more time to write stuff during the upcoming weeks. Life is simply not that fun when it’s too busy.
