Låvestudioet at Lillehager: Decorative Painting and Tile

The loft in Låvestudioet has many inviting white primed surfaces that wanted to be decorated. I’ve tried to keep the spirits of Charleston (Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant) and Per Lysne in mind as I work. 
The red design is my ormmalling (worm painting) finally done outside of a sketchbook. The dino skulls are a work in progress- I think I’m going to do a cycad design in the center. The tiles were acquired as bisqueware and I painted them with Mayco glaze. 
The corgis love to lay at the window and watch the world, especially the magpies.

The water and fish were painted with watercolor and gouache over Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground.

Most of the painting is Golden SoFlat Matte Acrylic or Jo Sonja’s Matte Flow Acrylic over primer.
