My teacher

Frederick Franck is my most important teacher in seeing and drawing. I have had other teachers, but none as clear, generous, enlighted, wise and humble as Frederick. This drawing is from his home in Warwick, NY 1988 where I was invited to stay after a workshop in zen-drawing. 

Hagestad, our summer home

The old barn, with a hook on the side, as it looked when we bought the summer house 1989. Two years later a storm took down everything except the stone wall towards north and west.



From 1989. There still is a gate between the barn and the house, and the house looks the same plus a lot more plants clinging to it. Behind the door on the right were a toolshed, and behind the gate the garden begins.


A childs wheelbarrow. Work can be a game. Now the weelbarrow is abandoned. On top, an abandoned beehive.




Views blending into each other from our garden, a morning between heaven and earth.

Can you see the fly on the blue table, the bumble bees in the purple-blue lavender, the stearin on the ground from the romantic night before? (You can click on the pic to enlarge it).



Roses in all stages of life.
