Duvnäs Gård, Artist Olle Nyman’s House and Studio.
Olle Nyman: "Utblick, övre gården" 1931, oil on panel
Here are some paintings by artist Olle Nyman from a trip to Duvnäs Gård, Olle Nyman’s house and studio. His house has now been converted into a museum and exhibits a unique artist’s home with beautiful interiors. There’s something so very inspiring about visiting an artist’s home and studio! The collection of books and art, the artist’s paints, the collection of shells, the sketches, broken pottery for his sculptures… work and life in process.
There’s also a wonderful café, bakery and restaurant, Koloni, that serves food made with organic, fair trade products. You find Koloni in a small whitewashed building that started off as Olle Nyman’s sister’s garage. Kajsa was one of the first women in Sweden who got a driving license and she was very interested in cars!

Thanks for the intro to Olle Nyman, the last painting is my favorite as well.
Have a great weeken Kate!
Hehe, Nyman!
And I have to say, I like the first one the most by far. Wonderful how he captured the light on the water and the clouds and sky so perfectly in just a few strokes. Also, interesting how as he grew older he became more and more abstract, yet at the end reverted back to a more realistic style.
Dearest Kate, Olle Nyman’s work is gorgeous!! Thanks so much for sharing him and his work here with us! Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to you!
