WHAT’S IN MY HEAD AND THE WEEK AHEAD

04/03/2018

It’s like I forget to photograph, so when I want to share something with you I’m in lack of photos! What’s in my head is administration and thoughts about the future (I’m glad the past isn’t bothering me so much right now), and to keep calm and carry on in this time between “the old life” and “the new life”. It’s like a vacuum, but still stormy, if you get what I mean. I don’t know if I’m gonna stay in this house until it’s sold, or if my husband/ ex-husband will stay, and who’s moving when. It’s not like we’re just sitting here not working it out, but finding new homes takes time. I have my new place this summer, as you know. If he finds a place this week, I’m suddenly here alone, and if he’s not, I’m might going to stay in a tiny cabin in the garden of some friends of mine. It’s so surreal to not know where I am just a week or two from now.

So the only new photo I could find for you today was this one, the finished self portrait. Or, I just had to tell myself it’s done because I where to submit it for an exhibition with a deadline the 1st of March, so I have applied with it like this, ha ha. Can’t believe it… So at least it have to stay like this until I know if I’m one of the chosen local artists or not. That’s how I work right now, gosh!

Anyway, I’ll hopefully get a delivery from Britain tomorrow with some rather big products that I am to style and shoot. That’s exciting!! And I promise I’ll do a better job when it comes to collaborations that what I do with my “personal” work right now, no doubt. And except that I will also start to photograph our house for the upcoming sale. I will spend the next three weeks photographing rooms every now and then, so I don’t freak out and do a bad job when March comes to an end.

Sooo… Hopefully I will get to know more about the process in the apartment the coming week too… And I have to paint rest of the stairwells in this house before I get to photograph it. That’s not fun, I promise you!

I can also promise you to share what happens in my life next week! To keep you posted, and hopefully with some other photos than a painting of myself with a collar on my head…

    Great painting! Finished or not, it’s an interesting concept. If it gets picked for the exhibition, you win, if it doesn’t, you still win because then you’ll probably make it look even better. Win-win is a good situation to be in. 🙂 Good luck with all your happenings!
    P.S. Gosh, I want to start painting again! Can’t find time. Or maybe just inspiration…

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.
