Welcome Allen,
I'm always interested to talk with other arists from northern European countries as my ancestors are from the northernmost areas of Norway and Sweden. They settled in Hammerfest, Norway in the 1700's. I'm 2nd generation American, and I remember my grandmother and mother speaking Norwegian whenever they didn't want me to know what was going on. Both have been dead for many, many years so my link to my Scandinavian heritage has been lost. I'm looking forward to your participation in this Forum, there are so many talented artists here that are so generous in sharing their knowledge.
I too am really interested in seeing examples of your thatched roofs. Fascinating! Your portrait of your daughter is full of light and energy.
