Painting in Malta


We had an exciting trip to Malta this summer. For us it was a new culture, with many new stories to discover. The landscape was characterized by human activity for thousands of years by agriculture and construction. 

The island has an ancient culture, actually one thousand years older or more than the Egyptian pyramids. My son Leopold and I examined the archaeological museum in Valletta with great interest. Much beauty it was to see, and I painted several pictures of Valletta and Mdina and landscapes from the Golden Bay, the Blue Lagoon and other places.

Take a look at these oil studies and let me know what you think of them.




Maling på Malta


Det ble en spennede tur til Malta denne sommeren. En ny kultur, med mange nye historier å oppdage. Landskapet var preget av menneskelig aktivitet i tusenvis av år ved landbruk og byggevirksomhet. 

Fascinerende var det å oppdage at øya har en eldgammel kultur, faktisk tusen år eldre enn Egypts pyramider. Min sønn Leopold og jeg gransket det arkeologiske muséet i Valletta med stor interesse. Mye vakkert var det å se, og jeg malte flere bilder i Valletta og Mdina og landskaper fra Golden Bay, Den blå lagune og andre steder.

Ta en titt på disse oljestudiene og fortell meg gjerne hva du syns om dem.
