Lunch at a nice place in central Stockholm – which serves homemade & on the spot. Down several options for vegans & vegetarians, which is always nice.

This building with the beautiful balconies is an architectural style that flourished approximately between 1890 & 1920 in Northern Europe, especially in Sweden & Finland. The Nordic National Romanticism.

A striking portrait painting with clear expressionist & modernist influences. The figure, an elongated woman with exaggerated facial features, features prominent, wide-set eyes, arched eyebrows, a long nose & a small, pursed mouth painted in vibrant red. A muted, neutral background makes her face & expression stand out dramatically.
Given the modern, somewhat whimsical & textured style of this piece, Juan Carlos Cortés is likely the artist behind it.

Visiting family & friends in Sweden & we’re having an amazing spring weather, albeit a little chilly in the air. Södermalm, often shortened to just Söder, is the southern district of Stockholm City Centre, in the video.
