I always have a hard time to define a hipster. When we are walking on the street, I often ask my friend: 'Is this what you call a hipster?'. I would not know. But now, according to my friend I've painted one! Without knowing it. So here she is: a hipster girl at the beach. I found her on Pinterest which is hipster paradise, so I should have known.
The dreamlife no.4 easy living
Before we bought our house we participated in a co-housing project for a while. Unfortunately it was really hard to make it happen and we needed to move quite soon, so we left the project. But it still stays a big dream of me to once live together on a piece of land with different families and friends. For the people who aren't familiar with this concept: co-housing doesn't mean living together in the same house (although sometimes it does), for us this means sharing a piece of land together, with different houses on it and sharing some facilities like a washing room, have a cooking system together, share a big yard and watching each others children, always have someone to talk to... In my dream life this concept will become mainstream in our society one day (like it is in Sweden already, for instance).
People - Vacation
Waiting for summer I've painted this girl on vacation. In my imagination she is sitting in the evening sun in a light summer breeze, somewhere near the seaside. She is loosely based on one of my dearest friends, who loves books and often wears funny socks.
The dreamlife no.3 Slow cooking
I really love to cook. Especially when I've got the time for it, it can be a mindful experience (at least, this is when Oskar is not begging for my attention by placing his cars everywhere on the kitchen floor, preferably under my feet 'You are a bridge, mom!'). I like to try new recipes and in my dreamlife I would make everything myself: our bread, our jams and chutneys and we would have shelves filled with jars of fermented and pickled food!
People - Girl on bike
I saw this girl in the city, she was riding amongst the busy traffic and looked so calm and peaceful (and she was wearing a beautiful knitted sweater too!)
