RICKLUNDGÅRDEN, SWEDEN, watercolor

Ricklundgården I, 4x6 in, 10x15 cm,  watercolor.
Not available, I  mailed it as a gift to my granddaughter Natalie.

Hello from Sweden! Painting at Ricklundgården Residency, part of the Museum and Art Gallery created and donated for the community of Saxnäs, the country of Sweden, and future artists, by Emma and Folkes Ricklund. This is a place for meditation and creation, overlooking lakes and mountains, a beautiful home surrounded by gardens and forests. Next door is Saxnäsgården, an Inn/spa which used to belong to Emma's parents at the beginning of the 20th Century. Artists used to come here at that time, and that's how the painter Folkes Ricklund met Emma and they fell in love.

Keep watching my blog for more from Sweden, the Land of the Midnight Sun!
