Picture of a large painted surface in the stairwell of my studio. A sage green wall about 4x8 feet, decorated with swirling Telemark-style painting in blues, greens, reds, yellows. A smaller blue panel partially visible below it. Oh, and looks like my thumb at the lower right corner of frame.
A view of just the large panel. It's at a raking angle, as it's hard to photograph in the stairwell. Large, rococo- and baroque-inspired "C" and "S"-shaped swirls and abstract flowers. Rosemaling is a Norwegian folk art that has been around for a long time (and is similar to many other folk painting traditions in Europe). It became popular in America among the diaspora during the 20th century. I started Rosemaling after the 2024 US election; the re-election of Trump made me feel intense stress, anger, and grief. Painting has helped me keep me sane.
A smaller painting project. At left, an antique platter by Per Lysne, a Stoughton, Wisconsin-based painter who helped popularize rosemaling as a craft in the US. At right, a seat from a child's chair, on which I am painting a design closely following Lysne's distinct style.
Timeline cleanse painting projects: I am close to finishing the big design in my studio stairwell (based on work by Sigmund Arseth), and a little piece inspired by Per Lysne (his 1930s platter on left in image).

The black leather backpack is photographed hanging from a snowy spruce. The photo was taken in the forest, where there is a lot of snow covering everything in the area at this time of year. The backpack is shown from a straight-on view. The extendable section of the bag is rolled up, yet there is still quite a bit of space inside the bag.
The black leather backpack is photographed hanging from a snowy spruce. The photo was taken in the forest, where there is a lot of snow covering everything in the area at this time of year. The image shows the black backpack from the perspective of the straps. This picture was meant to show the overall view of how the straps look on the bag. But look at that reflection too! A spruce branch caught in the sunlight! On the leather polished with wax!
where there is a lot of snow covering everything in the area at this time of year. The image presents the bag from a perspective that is partly front-facing and partly from the left side. Curves are a fairy tale, and I love fairy tales. Everyone should have a piece of a fairy tale!
The photo is a close-up of the decoration on the front pocket of the backpack. A leather backpack adorned with a sculpted and painted image. Inspired by traditional embroidery seen in quilts, Slavic wall paintings, Norwegian rosemaling, and similar styles. These are just a few examples of similar artworks...
This year's first project is this beautiful #leather #backpack !
While backpacks have graced the Leather Chamber before, none have ever been captured in a photograph. Yet, this particular style, featuring an extendable body, is being crafted here for the very first time.

Context view of a large decorative painting in the stairwell of my studio. There's a small painted panel on blue, the stairs (painted yellow), and a sage green wall about 4' high and 7' wide that is drawn on with chalk and has the start of folkart scrolls and flowers in shades of blue and green, with smaller accents in mustard yellow and bright red.
A view of just the painted wall I am working on. The first step was a design drawing in chalk, second step is this stokework with a large brush to create the primary "c" and "s"-shaped swirls in the design. This is Norwegian rosemaling, in the Telemark style, with design inspiration from 20th century large-format work by Sigmund Arseth.
Trying a big painting. This is maybe about 4' x 7' ? Chanelling Sigmund Arseth as best I can. These are just the big strokes; the linework is what brings it together. In the stairwell of my studio. I need to install a handrail here after paint is done.

- from a photograph my grandparents (maybe my grandmother) took on a trip to Norway back then. So my interpretation of the image is quite removed from whatever the read site looked like.
And the box is just an intentionally overwrought bit of #rosemaling.

Two painted bowls on a workbench. A hand is holding up one that is very old, and at the left side of the frame is a brand-new painted bowl with brighter colors and a similar, circular design at it's center as can be seen on the antique bowl. Both pieces are made of wood, and the painting style is Norwegian Rosemaling.
This is a very similar view to the first picture, but now you can see the inside of the antique ale bowl, with its spiral shape design, evocative of a vine or serpent. Based on the directionality of the design in the antique piece, I assume that the painter was right-handed, as my own interpretation of the design is reversed (I am left-handed). The rosemaling is very busy, with lots of small marks, and many small scroll and feathers, or leaf-like elements emerging from the central spiral. It's quite different in "vibe" from contemporary fashion in this type of folk painting.
I recently acquired an antique dragon-shaped ale bowl and studied its design for inspiration on one of my pieces. I just realized that the big circle design on the ale bowl corresponds to the dragon's butthole! Maybe mine is a lamprey?

An old wooden box for holding firewood. The battered black surface has been painted with Norwegian Rosemaling in a scroll and flowers design, in red and green colors with white linework. At the center of a cornucopia-line design, a small, sleeping cat is painted.
A detail of the painting showing part of the cornucopia and flowers around it.
Here's how my firewood box painting came out. My first oil project in a while (have been mostly using acrylics as a newbie rosemaler).

A partially painted wooden box. The box is very old, with battered edges and worn black paint. A chalk drawing on the face of the box has been partially painted with a Norwegian rosemaling design of scrolls and flowers in shades of red, orange, and green oil paints. The box sits on a wooden floor, by the hearth of a woodstove.
It's been ages since I've done any painting, but now I have time. Here is a WIP on my firewood box. There's a little cat in the design, because Helen loved to sleep in this box.

A 200-year old wooden trunk from Norway, with beautiful painted wood and incredible, three-dimensional ironwork.
A detail of the same trunk, with painted scrollwork that echoes the low-relief rococo scrolls the maker created in iron for the trunk's strapping.
Also, I need to post a pic of this incredible trunk in the collection of the #Vesterheim museum.Museum.

A wooden box painted red sits on a table in front of a lot of paintbrushes and other small tools. The box is partially painted with scrolls and flowers in blues and greens. Chalk lines sketching out the design are visible. A couple of small, unfinished paintings are partially visible in front of the red box.
The wooden base of an old lamp. It has 3 legs, and is painted red, black, teal, and yellow. There is a ring of flax flowers painted on part of it.
Painting in progress. At left, a cover box for a flax hackle/hetchel. At right, an old wooden floor lamp re-purposed into a free-standing distaff for flax spinning.

A chalk sketch on the circular top of an antique stool. An abstract flower design on a teal-colored background.
The finished painting on the seat of the stool. The chalk outline is replaced by a painted design in dark blue, greens, yellow, and orange, with black and white details.
A view of the entire stool in my workroom. It is oak, and the seat turns easily on a cast iron bearing. I still need to wax the unpainted parts. The completed piece will go to my summer studio, where I will use it at one of my looms.
Finally got round to repairing this old stool, and of course, I painted it.

A cluttered crafting table with paints and paintbrushes, and a laptop computer at one side. It's raining outside, and the sound of rain is in the room.
Disproportionately excited about an online #rosemaling workshop I signed up for that starts in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

This painted record was inspired by Norway and the Telemark style of the Rosemaling days of yore. But of course I had to put my own modern spin on it, with neon and color shift paint. As I am wont to do.

A pair of birkenstock clogs, originally green, painted norsk blue and decorated with Telemark style rosemaling.
The inside faces of an old 3-ring binder, painted with white gesso and simple, loose scrollwork in red, inspired by the simple, often primative-style decorations inside the lids of 18th- and 19th-century Norwegian dowry trunks.
A 3-ring binder painted with Telemark-style rosemaling flowers in the style of Sigmund Arseth. The background is cream-colored, the flowers are green, red and orange, and there is a warm gray border.
A house-shaped wooden panel painted in blue, red, orange, green, black and yellow with the word "welcome" painted in somewhat awkward lettering.
It was still raining, so I did some painting. My shoes! The inside of an old 3-ring binder (inspo. is the interior decoration of old trunks), Arseth-style flowers, lettering practice.

A finely crafted round paint decorated Viksdal Rosemaling tine box featuring a flat lid with an applied edge, covered with fine yellow, black and blue scrolled decoration over a salmon colored ground. The removable lid is over a conforming round case with finger joined construction and a surface covered with fine yellow, black and blue scrolled decoration over a salmon colored ground. A nearly identical example is in the Sunnhordland Museum. The style of decorative painting on objects called Rosemaling is a unique Norwegian style that started in the mid 1700’s. All through the Middle Ages and well into the 1700’s and beyond, the typical Norwegian farmhouse was a single-story log building with no windows. In the 1700’s Norway’s economy began to improve and technical advances were introduced such as closed fireplaces and chimneys that allowed smoke to escape. New houses also had windows. After centuries of living in small, dark, smoke filled rooms, people finally had houses that let in light and fresh air. The first wave of rose painting started in the south-eastern parts of the country. Here Norwegian artists trained in guilds and took their inspiration from the Baroque and Rococco styles used in Europe and popular with the Norwegian upper classes. They then travelled from county to county, painting the homes and furnishings of well-to do farmers for a commission of either money or room and board. But as these artists travelled farther away from the influence of the guilds, the creative urge took hold and they began to try out new motifs. Before long, many artists developed their own unique styles.

A yellow door with white inset panels. Work in progress is a monochromatic blue rosemaling design in the small white panels.
Detail view of another door being painted with Norwegian Rosemaling. This door is blue with white panels, and the rosemaling drsign is predominantly blue with accents of green and orange.
Since I couldn't work on taxes, I painted instead.

The upper portion of an antique wooden door. The frame is blue and inner panels are cream-colored. Faint blue lines in the cream-colored panel describe a composition of Telemark-style Norwegian Rosemaling, with its characteristic baroque-inspired scrolls and stylized flowers.
A detail of the same door and a portion of the preliminary design drawing.
Gonna do it. Had to bump contrast to see my design sketch in camera (door is not quite that dark). Looking at this, I realized I made a lot of little drawings like this about 35 years ago; so maybe this is not as from-left-field as it seems.

Intricate-looking rosemaling on the top of a vintage end table. The work is being inspected by a black cat with yellow eyes
Headed out of town for a week of teaching, but I made time to get this piece mostly done. Shadow is inspecting it.

View of a rosemaling work in progress. The upper portion of the image shows bright yellow outlining work, in contrast to the lower part of the image, with just the orange and blue strokework on a black field. A marble painter's palette is sitting on the work.
Had a little time to work on this yesterday.

A tall, narrow cabinet mounted in a stairwell. The cabinet is blue with a door painted in red and blue rosemaling with a black border.
The inside of the cabinet shows it filled with small bottles and jars.
A wild rosemaling composition. A rusty red field with pale yellow, white, and gray scrollwork and stylized flowers.
Hung up the painted cabinet and filled it immediately. I'll work in situ to decorate the inside of the door and the back that faces the stairs. The rusty red panel is just practicing scrolls and liner work.

Detail of a small antique mirror with a painted frame. I found the mirror at a local charity shop. It was already painted red.
A cheap canvas ($1 ay the Habitat for Humanity ReStore!) with rosemaling practice. This one is a yellow ground with orange, red, green and brown rosemaling. It looks a bit cartoonish.
The beginning of scroll painting on an antique cabinet door. Red, black, and shades of blue.
A freshly-painted antique wooden door. The frame is a mid-tone "Norwegian blue," and the four inset panel, are a creamy white. There is a white cat door set into the lower left corner of the door.
I've spent a lot of time in meetings and zooms recently, but this afternoon was about paint. I'm going to rosemal the panels of the door between the kitchen and my studio. It took several tries, but I think I like the base colors now.
