Weekend with giants
I spent this past weekend in our family's old house, built 1896, by Isak Gustaf Clason. That is the same architect that did Nordiska Museet and Hallwylska Palatset in Stockholm. Famous Swedish artists such as Carl Larsson, Zorn and Arborelius used to hang out in the house painting and drinking absint til the early mornings. Always such an inspiration visiting this house.
Good bye little fellow!
One of my signed prints framed and ready for a new home! The motives are the same as the original paintings that will be exhibited at Liljevalchs vårsalong in January. Check out my shop johanbarrett.com/shop if even you want to hang one on your wall!
A message on a card
Just received a box of postcards with the motives I will be exhibiting at Liljevalchs. They really look great. These will be sold in the art shop at the exhibition. Mathias at Picno printed them for me in his studio. Great collaboration!
Limited edition prints!
Today my shop opens. I will be selling exclusive prints in a signed, limited edition. The motives are the same as the original paintings that will be exhibited at Liljevalchs vårsalong in January. Ordered prints will be shipped January 11th, on the same day as Liljevalchs vårsalong opens.

Here is a detail of a painting I'm working on at the moment.
No time is inspiring times!
I often paint at night when all the children have fallen asleep or very early before anyone has woken up.
The liar with a long nose
I'm so happy this piece ended up with friend and inspiration Phillipe Tempelman.

Summer of 2016
In the past six months, while working on my paintings, I have often had my newborn twin girls on my arms or chest. All the pieces that will be exhibited at Liljevalchs vårsalong 2017, I have made with my baby twin girls by my side.
