Gayle's 2005 trip to Norway :

I just returned from a fabulous trip to Norway with the Vesterheim Folk Art Study Tour in July.
We spent four days touring museums, stave churches, artists, including Sigmund Aarseth's home, etc. on our way from Oslo north to Lillehammer, Lom and down through the Valdres Valley to Fagernes. They provide a wonderful tour that I love to attend and would be interesting to anyone loving Rosemaling, woodcarving, fiber arts, and knifemaking.
We spent a wonderful two weeks there studying with Eli Saelid and Anne Hesvik Kartveit. In the evening we did lots of hiking along with extra painting. With Eli we studied the Valdres style which is well known for. Anne is very creative and has her own beautiful contemporary style of Telemark that was a challenge for all of us.
I hope you will enjoy the photographs of the things I painted while there. The two catchall's I finished when I came home because I didn't take the bowl part of the wood piece.
