by Ruth Therese | Sep 6, 2018 | Funbox

My giclée print Facing the Open Sea (Havgapsvind) really got lucky going to this tasteful home, belonging to C.F. The tintet glass vase, and the chandelier goes together sooo well with the painting! Thank you so much for this lovely photo!...

Summer cottage

by Ruth Therese | Sep 4, 2018 | Watercolour

This painting reminds me of a summer cottage in Sweden my grandparents used to have, even though their cottage, "Torp" in Swedish, was red. I think it must be the window, the soft breeze, the flowers, and maybe the round table. My grandmother always made it look so...

Bravery is everyday

Ever wondered how someone had the courage to do that brave thing? Or how…

Skjulte rom og hemmelige hyller!

by Ruth Therese | Aug 16, 2018 | D.G.A., MooCoo's, Series

(press 9 for english, or scroll...) Noen ganger er det ikke greit å være liten, andre ganger er det akkurat det man være. Bare sitte på et fang og være liten, ikke ha ansvar, bare lytte og ikke ta del i det som skjer. Noen ganger liker jeg å bare tegne, se hva som...

Yes or no?

I know I've told you before that when I'm making a painting, there's a certain "feeling" I trust to decide whether or not a painting is done. Sometimes it's very easy. I get a clear unsettled feeling, and I know that there's something missing (or excess) in the...

Oh, I just came across these…!

by Ruth Therese | Jul 1, 2018 | Birds, Watercolour

Lately, I've been painting birds, but it's not the first time I'm doing that. Several years ago, (oh, that made me feel old...!😱), I did some tiny painting, using only one colour in the palette. Using fancy words, I did a series of monochromatic watercolour studies....

[New] Bird Collection Released!

by Ruth Therese | May 14, 2018 | Paintings and Prints, Watercolour

You see, spring and summer-soon-to-be got me in bird mode. To me, the best spring que are singing birds. So, I painted a few. They don't actually sing, but looking at them, I do feel the singing nevertheless. These small, original watercolour paintings are released...

As the wind was whining around the corners, my mind drifted…

by Ruth Therese | May 7, 2018 | Norwegian landscape, Rough Seascape Series, Watercolour

It was kind of windy here yesterday. The house was quirking, and the wind whining around the corners. The sea, which we can see from our windows, was dark, with shifting light areas as the wind danced around, and the waves was topped with white. I love listening to...
