Base Hit

I finished my painting.
Let's just say that this one isn't my greatest work, but they can't all be homeruns, right?
I consider getting any painting to the 'finished' status a good base hit though, so I'm loading the bases and getting poised for an artistic grand slam in the upcoming weeks.

The majority of the day was spent either painting or helping Sofia and Kristoffer prepare tapas for a Spanish themed dinner party. The whole thing went off without a hitch- but not without some serious effort, a few burns, and a lot of stress.

I was just telling the dinner guests that I never had the intention of traveling to Sweden for the food, but I have to honestly say that every single meal I've eaten here in Motala has been of the highest quality- wonderful tastes of sweet and salty and savory, and plenty of it.

Tuva (Kristoffer's four year old daughter) left today to go spend the week with her mom, I miss her little feet running around the house and I miss her little Swedish voice.

It's getting late here in Motala, so I will leave you with a few pictures of my painting progress and a promise to bring you up to date on all the latest 'Awkward American Moments' I've been having here in Sweden.
