Lapland with Abbe 2007

Nice stuff Kevin.

Don't suppose you'd be renting it out for visitors?

 

[Dougster]

That's exactly what I (and I suspect every member here) dreams of when they do.

Well done for seizing the day, I'm sure you will enjoy all of them.

I somehow missed this thread, I had no idea Abbe was selling up! Nice for him to know that a good friend has taken ownership and that the area will be well looked after and respected, and above all enjoyed.

It's a fantastic looking site, Google map cooordinates were put up once, I believe, by Abbe. Any idea what they are so that we can have a quick look at the surrounding area?!!

Stunning!!

The lake looks superb - full of fish no doubt.
Phil.

And Mossies

Waste of money if you ask me.

Yea,where are the shops!! What are you going to do all day?

 

[eraaij]

Wow, your own place up there. It can't get any better than that.
Many congratulations, Fenlander!

Thanks mate, I am happy you liked them.
My family and I will stay in Sweden but more to the south. It will be in the Kramfors area, a little warmer, not 8 month of snow but still much much wilderness.
There is more variation for an artist too. Here is everything centered around mining and forest industry.

Form the area we are moving too came as well some famous artists. As I am trying to break in as an landscape painter I hope to connect to that spirit. Down there too is farming going on much longer than up here. And the wonderfull coastline will be a nice background to my paintings. Its called "höger kusten" and is on the world nature protection list. Small islands with forest on the east coasts. The animal wildlife is a bit broader too, deer and maybee wild boar are there too. I am sure about deer but not so sure about wild boar.
These little guys are moving up to the north but I dont know how high they are already.

My bushcrafting will come in handy if I am staying out for some days. Here you can see me doing what I love.

all the best
Abbe

That's got me wondering, do you do oil or water colours? 'Cos if you do water colours, do you have problems with the paint freezing?!



Would be nice to see some of your paintings.

 

[Abbe Osram]

Hi mate,
I started with oils now. I was an cartoon animator and illustrator before but got enough with it and want to connect my love for nature with art.
I dont want to hickjack the Thread and make an art thread out of it but I am planning on a webpage nature / art / spiritual when I have enough good works together.


cheers
Abbe

 

[spamel]

Oh, I didn't want you to take this thread and turn it into something else. I look forward to seeing some of your work though.

 

[willie]

Hi Abbe

Tried to reply to your post earlier but keep getting interrupted.

Good to hear from you, hope you are all well. It’s good to know that you are still visiting the site.

Just googled Kramfors looks a fascinating area especially the ‘high coast trail’ also a good mix of traditional and modern architecture. I would guess the scenery is enough to inspire any artist, I will be interested to see your work let us know when your site is up and running.

And good opportunities for hunting, wild boar are continually expanding their range all over Europe even here in the UK where 10 years ago there were none.

Best regards, Pothunter.

When I have more art together I will work on my webpage and show it to you guys.
all the best
