A visit at the artist Karl Axel Pehrson´s studio

We had the opportunity to visit Karl Axel Pehrson in his home and studio on a fantastic autumn day. Karl Axel Pehrson is very disciplined; he paints daily, working accurately and systematically.

Before each painting he makes a pencil sketch which serves as the model for the painting.

Many of the pictures can be viewed in enlarged versions by clicking on the pictures.

We photographed thirteen of his paintings.

Karl Axel Pehrson is demonstrating his fishing game which he has designed and made in four copies. The game has a number of dice which are thrown for each turn. The result of each throw symbolizes different weather situations which affect the luck of fishing. A fantastic, well-made game with pikes, pearch and pike-pearch.
