hopplahey

Peculiar work that I usually end too late. Most of my paperwork is on 1/16 of what you see here. The small format I usually prefer might be to see if something is more important than another and then trying to distill something or other from it.

I use these big sheets (56×76cm) of watercolourpaper underneath the smaller ones I work on. It created the notion that my best results come about when not looking. Good or bad the real reason is probably that these sheets are somewhat divorced from my regular scrutiny and they become rich in content as small actions leave their remnants on the paper. They are not quite made by chance but are built from small divorced decisions that creates the whole.

My hole in the ground is not a looker from the roof. Neither is the neighbour house which is deserted. Two brothers can’t agree to sell it seems and now it’s starting to show neglect. We managed to save our house from these same brothers by a forced sale I might add. I took the picture because I’m daydreaming about an outhouse. In Norway we can build a 15 square meter outhouse no taller than 3 meters without a building permit. My drawing/painting chamber project is close to 3.50 meters tall so that won’t fit the bill. I’m thinking a study for my computers, robots, books, paperwork and pink underwear. Oeh. Putting it right in front of the old house would help indeed.

We put in the new window before the storm hit the wall this Wednesday. Autumn is here but with peculiar warm temperatures. I’m looking forward to winter believe it or not. It’s the green, the echoing green. I’ll take snowblind yes thank you very much and hopefully a break to the south in January.

The next window to be changed. It’s standing on a single horisontal piece of wood and lodged between two horisontal construction logs. The rest is air. We’re putting in a new oldfashioned one that can open. We’re saving the old ones. They can be repaired so we might do that and use them somewhere else on the house.

My trusty old scanner might be getting slightly off. It should be more like turquoise than green. Uhoh.:( And my screen is slightly yellow. And the laptop too blue. Uhoh:(
