Watercolors from my hikes to a small island in the Baltic Sea

Nexo, rain, Bornholm, Denmark. Watercolor

Far out in the middle of the Baltic Sea, between Russia, Poland, Germany, Denmark Sweden and Lithuania lies a small brick-formed island called Bornholm.

Bornholm is more than a billion years old and are slightly tilted South, so its Northern old granite rocks rises more than a 100 meters  meters above the Baltic sea, while the sandy beaches of the south coast, continues out on shallow water.

There is a 120 km. long coast trail around Bornholm and it is one of my favorite places for hiking in Denmark. I go over there alone, with my watercolor gear and my backpack and paint places along the trail.

Here are some of my countless research-sketches, watercolors and drawings from those hikes
