A beautiful place to charge the batteries is to walk the path “Strandpromenaden” in Vilhelmina close to the lake Volgsj\u00f6n. Along this pathway you can really feel peace, it\u00b4s you and nature. There is a sense of tranquility, a place to gather your thoughts. My painting dates back to the autumn 2015 when I stayed in Vilhelmina for two weeks, while my exhibition “In Harmony With The Nature” was ongoing at Folkets Hus. For several days, the autumn weather was utterly magical and I was walking along the path “Strandpromenaden” towards L\u00f6vliden. The lake Volgsj\u00f6n was serene and beautiful, not a single movement to be seen on the lake\u00b4s surface. There is something special with the autumn up in the north when the air is high and clear. The nights begin to be cold in Lapland, but when the sun sets forth, the autumn leaves of the trees are even more powerful in its colours. I love the autumn colours and when the trees change their green leaves to yellow, orange and red. In this painting I really have enjoyed working with so many colours.<\/p>\n
From Volgsj\u00f6 to a queen\u00b4s name.<\/strong><\/p>\n Vilhelmina was originally called Volgsj\u00f6 before it was named after the queen. Three towns in V\u00e4sterbotten inland were 1804 named after the queen Fredrika Dorotea Vilhelmina married to King Gustav IV Adolf. The lake, however, has retained its name, Volgsj\u00f6n. It is here the river, \u00c5ngerman\u00e4lven begins, which flows beautifully through southern Lapland and \u00c5ngermanland until it reaches its outlet in the Baltic Sea\u00b4s Gulf of Bothnia. Volgsj\u00f6n is situated 334 meters over sea level and many tourists have enjoyed the stunning view over the lake during the years. I hope my piece of art would transfer a calm feeling to the viewer and who knows perhaps a desire to walk along this path and look out over this wonderful lake. You can find the painting in Brittas Art Gallery, in the category “Lapland- Autumn”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A beautiful place to charge the batteries is to walk the path “Strandpromenaden” in Vilhelmina close to the lake Volgsj\u00f6n.
