A few days ago we "exchanged" a few  paintings and you spoke good 
words about mine, I will hereby return the favour. I intensely admire 
those who can paint the human body and do portraits, those figures 
who appear in my pieces are just decorations or "box of matches" for 
size. We are on two wildly opposite tacks in what we want to convey. I 
follow the Norwegian "National Romanticism" tradition from the 
seventeenth century with mountains and sea, I just replace the sailing 
vessels with steamships or - I have tried - a container carrier. While 
you obviously are in the inner realm, no less dramatic. The sketched 
scenario sounds quite a challenge, I surely am not able to do it, but 
look forward to see the result of your effort.

Bo.
