Bicycle rack in Nedre Nybo Stjärnsund

It was the first day in several weeks with clear skies. It turned out to be a bicycle rack at Nedre Nybo in Stjärnsund where I planted my easel and soon noticed that I had forgotten my brushes at home. So it was a few minutes in despair before an acquaintance came by and lent his brushes. It's not quite like my marten brushes that I take care of with love These were worn, stiff and flat. When I stroked them on the canvas, it had the effect of scraping away the underlying color. But after a while I got to know my tools and I could predict how the different variables of painting with oil paints interacted with each other. Then I was able to let go of my analytical side and started creating art.
