Why this archive exists
A small, slow place for pictures of northern light.
I started collecting these paintings the way some people collect stones from beaches: one at a time, without a plan, because a particular grey or a particular blue would not leave me alone.
Most of them now live in museum storerooms or on walls I will probably never stand in front of. Many museums have generously released their old paintings into the public domain, and that makes a project like this possible: anyone can look, anyone can share, and nobody has to pay for the privilege of a quiet half hour with a winter sky.
There is nothing to buy here and nothing to sign up for. There are no comments, no tracking and no newsletter. Just rooms, pictures and a few notes, updated when the season changes.
