It is time to write...
It is a strange time right now.
It is a time in between.
I don´t know really in between what.
But that is what it is.
I have finished my last painting
of Blekinges former Landshövding; Ingegerd Wärnersson.
Being a Landshövding
is like being a king/queen
for a part (landskap) of Sweden.
I will show her portrait to you
once it has been delivered.
I have printed
one hundred folders
on thick paper
to send out to big companies
telling about my portraits.
I am happy with the back of the folder with the little armchair
I am trying to get hold of
the right people
to send my expensive :-) folders to.
I seem, after all,
not to be souch a bright detective
as I first thought I was!
My list is long
of ideas of who would need portraits
but from there,
to getting the RIGHT names and addresses
is a bumpy road.
You know that for the last
years I have been blessed -
just as a job has come to an end
a new job has found me.
So... I have to keep on doing what I can do,
be happy and live in faith!
The other night
I layed a wake for a few hours
coming up with ideas on how
to survive financially...
I thought of painting watercolors.
One or two a day.
I also thought of painting
small, beautiful
portraits of children
that private people can afford.
in oil on MDF-board.
So I started working on a
webpage for children.
And the photographing...
I started making
a homepage for that as well.
see here!
And I have not asked you yet...
Alix and Susanna -
may I use some of your kind
words that you have given me
regarding my photo-portraits
on my webpage?
Any one else who wants to provide
words for people to read
about my photography?
This time in between
is exciting somehow.
It feels like a creative time,
and it´s also full of BIG question-marks
wondering how
my wallet is going to be filled.
Maybe this is a start for something new.
And you know what?
That new - what ever that will be -
YOU, my dear blog-friends,
each and everyone of you -
are to be thanked for.
You are inspiering and supporting me!

you'll be fine.
the work speaks for itself.
Woww!
How much creative enthusiasm!! Olga, I like a lot, what I see!
I feel compassion to your state "in-between", for now you have opened yourself a lot and it depends on how people like what you've done and how there answer will be!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you albeit Shula is totally right: the work speaks for itself!!
Beautiful brochures.
Fantastic work.
I'd love to sit under your lens since I can see that you capture the Beauty and the best in everyone.
wao!!!! your work is great and there is a lot of people that will apreciate it!
whish you the best!
Keep us inform!
here in the states, i might suggest you send to "portrait photographers" who already have clients who might love your emotional paintings of their clients... a little "tip" might help them give you a client, so they also become your salesmen.
whatever you choose, blessings on you... i think the heart is strong in your light!
Of course of course. Though it's like shula says. may all your efforts and dreams bare large ripe fruit. ps, have I said that I like your new titles?
