I couldn’t make my mind up on which painting to choose as my inspiration, when low and behold, I found my solution in a danish television program. I was watching a program about the daily life in an auction house and one expert was sent to a private home to value a modern painting. And, yes you guessed it; it was a Lundstrøm, never before seen by other than friends and family. It had been bought in the sixties, straight from Lundstrøm and arrived in the house with the paint still wet! That got me very excited and I hurried to take a screen print for reference - long live the iPad.

| Inspiration |

| Background quilted |
First I added layers of of textured bits, then I quilted the piece.
 |
| Gesso applied |
Then I added a layer of gesso with a heavy hand, and acrylic paint with a very light hand.

| Sammensætning |
The motives was fused and apliqued with black thread. I am very pleased with the result, it will not be the last time I use this technique, great fun!
