Good Food Good Friends

Regional Flavor
Local architecture with local scenes in artwork create a sense of place. This oil is a plein air piece depicting Tjörn, a well known place of beauty nearby. Regional art can add to the character of a home-reflecting the surroundings outside as well as inside. An artist can interpret a location you identify with and want to bring home.
