In 2024 I visited Bornholm as a participant of the “Baltic Sea Art Project” and met Ben Woodhamn. Ben had made two “Around-the-year-Projects” on Bornholm and I got very inspired to copy this idea, which I was not only allowed to, but also encouraged to do so. After careful consideration, I adapted the framework of the project to the given conditions of my island, Öland: Every week I visited a new place on Öland, painting PleinAir with watercolors. To find an interesting motif I drove by car and – when possible – I switched to the bike to may use smaler paths. On 17th September 2024 I started with the first picture at the Färjestaden harbour, south of the bridge to Öland. On 31st October 2025 I fullfilled the last painting just north of the bridge to Öland. All together I have done 52 paintings in little more than one year and by that I have rounded the complete island.
All original watercolor paintings are for sale.
If you want to see all 52 paintings you may read my weekly project dairy HERE … or you get my ARTBOOK (in swedish & english).

If you would follow this project you can read my weekly blogg on Substack. It is free to subscribe and of course it is easy to unsubscribe anytime. You will get an email once a week with pictures (including the newest painting) and a little story about the historie of the place, some obsticales I faced or my thoughts about the motif. Of course I will inform in time about the upcoming exhibition too.
