VILLA BETULA

the dark hues of maren ingeborg gråblomst

WHAT’S UP

20/10/2017

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just shipped the original painting ‘Notice Resistance’ to one of the most stunning homes on this planet. Seriously. Want to know where? Have a look here! I have wrapped and wrapped…. and wrapped… To make it ready for its journey. It makes me feel so humble. It’s the best word for it. I sell my work! Someone loves what I do, how amazing isn’t that!? Yesterday I started a new painting… Hated it so much that I painted black over the whole thing, that made it look better, I think. About to continue now before I’ll go to my hairdresser.

Because I need to feel comfortable with my hair before the big day, which is Wednesday. Then it’s photoshoot time in Villa Betula. Have no idea where it will be printed, but hopefully somewhere sometime. And right now it’s two hours before my hairdresser appointment, and I’m suddenly considering to go for a whole new look. Why am I freaking myself out with this idea this late?!

So to make the stress a even bigger mess, I decided to buy a ‘new’ old sofa (read: sofa that came with six chairs!) since we just got five sofas already… So now there’s sofas everywhere, and I  h a v e  to sell one before Wednesday. One of my favorites actually, because of the size. Fancy taking over some salmon red velvet? What I found was another one in red velvet… But older and with tons of tassels. Everywhere, on every chair – top and bottom. It’s a stunner!

And to finish this post off I want to say thanks to everyone who are so excited and supportive because we bought an abandoned property in Czech Republic! How many lovely comments and engagement, even from the well know and super sweet Swedish Sofia at Mokkasin who made it a part of her ‘For the Monday Coffee’, thanks! And even though 99,5% percent is positive, I can not help to mention that we’ve also received this comment “(censored start) …you don’t have the energy, time or money it takes to do something like that”. So “sorry” if it makes you bitter and provoked that people “like us” (read: artists with very little money but full of dreams and guts, who also choose to be open about my mental health issue) can achieve things more amazing than you who makes lots of money and stuck in your busy unhappy life. I have no doubt about who I am, or who I would be if I could choose.

      Thank you Kara, I’m glad you left this comment. I really focus on the supportive people, but it keeps surprising me how someone trying to drag us down, literally tell you “you won’t make it”. Or should I say not surprising me, ’cause there’s always some shit. Stay strong! The sky is the limit 😉

ABOUT ME

I do and share things by heart. I create personal texts, am a musician, sell original art and prints, make a special home and capture the magic with my camera – everything rather dark hued. Villa Betula is not just skimming the tops.

And by the way - my name is Maren Ingeborg Gråblomst and I’m Norwegian. Gråblomst means grey flower.
