A series of paintings of my favourite worn-out, industrial areas of Oslo. I love these gritty places you can find around the east side of Oslo and it's something I've been thinking about and wanting to do for a long time.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TUgDSdblNhI/AAAAAAAAAa8/owtnvRDr9xo/s1600/DSCF4622.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 334px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TUgDSdblNhI/AAAAAAAAAa8/owtnvRDr9xo/s400/DSCF4622.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568704554916460050" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Project I </span><span style="font-style: italic;">'Alna- I love you' 120 X 100 (work in progress)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TUV2wibz3UI/AAAAAAAAAaU/9LK837_Cs54/s1600/DSCF4606.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TUV2wibz3UI/AAAAAAAAAaU/9LK837_Cs54/s400/DSCF4606.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567987090562735426" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />St- st- Studio!

It's suppose to be good for hair growth, the legend has it.<br /><br /><br />And...my <a href="http://marwinna-hverdagen.blogspot.com">best friend</a> has left the country!!! It's a bit empty here in Oslo without her. Like the birds, she moved to a warmer climate with her sweetheart. It's for a whole year (at least)... I'm drowning my sorrows by eating all her leftover Christmas cookies. But it's not all sad (though I miss her a lot). You see, she and her lovely man has been so generous and let me use a room in their apartment as a studio space. It's brilliant, lots of light, space and a really high ceiling. So, this means I'm going to be painting like mad- huge, massive, fantastic paintings!! Well, that's my ambition. I'll keep you all posted on how the production is going.Lena M.

Eivind sold some books and Katharina was selling her beautiful BootCats(Støvlekatter). For you who don't know what a <span style="font-style:italic;">BootCat</span> is, let me explain; A <span style="font-style:italic;">BootCat</span> is fabric sewed in the shape of a two legged cat with REALLY long legs. The feet or paws are filled with sand, which makes the cat stable and when you put the cat in your long boots, it makes the boots stand up-right instead of lying all over the floor. I'm sorry to say I didn't take any pictures of these lovely and practical creations of Katharina. So, if you want to see one and maybe even buy one, you should come to our stand on the next Christmas market 19th of December! Eivind and I are also selling our illustrated Christmas Cards.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TPv9BWisxaI/AAAAAAAAAVo/B_j7MaGAnSQ/s1600/DSCF4453.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TPv9BWisxaI/AAAAAAAAAVo/B_j7MaGAnSQ/s400/DSCF4453.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547305565709714850" /></a>This Sunday a little boy told me he had fallen in love with my teddybears and bought 2 and a little owl.

The musical contribution was a bit of a lovely surprise and I hope that I'll get the permission of the musicians to share a video of the performance later. I'm trying to put together a gallery at the moment, so hopefully I'll soon be able to share the pictures with you in a more proper manner.<br /><br />While you are waiting for the gallery have a look at this little video of the event:<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aIkLYupNIXA?fs=1" frameborder="0" height="344" width="425"></iframe>Lena M.

The market is inside, but the doors are open out to the streets so next time I will definitely wear my wooly underwear. We were lucky enough to get a table in the corner with a heating lamp, which helped. It was really busy, a lot of families out on their Sunday stroll. My teddybears/rabbits/pigs/cats sold really well and one of the highlights of the day was when two little girls were arguing over the same teddybear. It was great!! (Note to self: Make at least two of the same colour!) Of course, I forgot to take pictures of all the teddybears. I probably wouldn't even have a picture of the last three if Eivind hadn't suggested I should take one. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TNgvHTUGwRI/AAAAAAAAAUI/2pdSWYJPa5g/s1600/DSCF4306.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TNgvHTUGwRI/AAAAAAAAAUI/2pdSWYJPa5g/s400/DSCF4306.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537227544342216978" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />A really shy, sweet boy bought this one.

It's really good practice. I haven't done this for a while and it's a bit of a challenge to capture a pose in 1 minute, but as I said, really good practice and very enjoyable. The atmosphere is very relaxed and anyone and everyone are welcome. There is also a session every Wednesday at Einar Granum kunstfagskole, Maridalsveien 17, Oslo.<br />

To get free tickets (to the childrens´s book fair, not the wine cellar..)you have to submit 5 illustrations based on the same theme. These illustrations are based on a story I've written about a strange grandmother who lives in a very strange house. Here are a couple of the illustrations I've sent.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TKtlcr8AqmI/AAAAAAAAAMU/vY3A-m2_RQs/s1600/basement1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 303px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TKtlcr8AqmI/AAAAAAAAAMU/vY3A-m2_RQs/s400/basement1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524620911405214306" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TKtk_I7YmcI/AAAAAAAAAMM/tib3__cFTgY/s1600/attic1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 303px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0L_jxReom8M/TKtk_I7YmcI/AAAAAAAAAMM/tib3__cFTgY/s400/attic1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524620403791141314" /></a>Lena M.
