Gallery show June, 2011

Dear Friends of the arts and culture,

A new exhibition is on its’ way. It is my pleasure to be able to share this with you – see attachment.

This exhibition is rather special to me: Ruth Hansen, my mother, will be showing her pictures that she has brought to life (and light) over the years, in many countries. This is a unique collection of Watercolours and pastels.

The gallery is petit (but chic!) – due to organisational reasons please RSVP (not binding) if you would like to stop by on Saturday ( I would like to make sure that there are enough munchies for everyone)

Greetings from sunny Munzingen,

Time to cut the vines/Rebeschnitt

Maj Britt — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 17:03:17 +0000

Now is the time to cut the vines.

This is a still life from the scissors, shoes and gloves used.

It is a wonderful time of the year and the work is fun.

Nicaragua Stories from “Dreams and Hopes” book

Maj Britt — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:52:04 +0000

Some sample photos from our “Dreams and Hopes” book can be seen under Sven’s newly uplaoded images under Flicker

A sample from our book:
River Life

Life around the river

The river is the social gathering point, a place of cool comfort. A relaxed place, made for jokes and gossip. At dawn, the men wash before going into the field. Later in the morning, the women bring their washing, soap and hairbrushes. The young girls join in and wash their clothes, too, while bathing. They wash their hair and splash each other. A young boy and his sister cross further downstream with the family horse, leading it to a drink, a wash and preparing it for work with the cattle or their father’s ride to town. Later, in the afternoon, the cattle are brought to the river to cool down and get something to drink.

more stories (in Danish) can be read on Sven Gårn Hansen’s blog. These are hard but very realistic stories.

Work in the vineyard: late winter

cutting the vines, in action

Many people comment that the life of a vintner is pretty relaxed as there is nothing to do beside harvest…..I am working on a series of still lives to show the various working stages of the outside work (in the vineyard) that take place over the course of the year… In the late winter, the vines get cut, this is done all by hand, the 2 year old wood (shoots) are cut out and the new shoots for this year are selected while the rest is cut away, but with an eye out for what will grow this summer and become next years selected… It is a beautiful time in the vineyard, the sun is working its way up in the sky and is trying to send us its warmth and show us that there is still power there.
