Second step is to decide colors and painbrushes. Fill water in cups and select which part of the painting I shall start before mixing the basic colors with white or mixing the basic with themselves.<br />

Normally I work very fast with the color adding step on canvas.. Trying to find what I have meant with the sketch and which colors can be placed besides each other<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBc-3gDkcheRAeARlsbAN3jVILdWWyCQVzbA_c3lK1atUagEi0xzvRk5p6qxOqBzvve04B6laaDC7MsgHHsSZbz-Z6391KEU21WuWlwc4dKoCL7HYCLHfQBW4X8R7G1J4-BHNA/s1600/IMG_0543.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBc-3gDkcheRAeARlsbAN3jVILdWWyCQVzbA_c3lK1atUagEi0xzvRk5p6qxOqBzvve04B6laaDC7MsgHHsSZbz-Z6391KEU21WuWlwc4dKoCL7HYCLHfQBW4X8R7G1J4-BHNA/s640/IMG_0543.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Then we have the most difficult step. Finishing up, but also not overdue. It is very difficult to know when to stop. It is impossible to return to a previous layer, very easy to destroy the intension or to change the colors to the point of no return. Overpainting and new start is one of my experiences, but dismotivating.<br />
<br />
The last step is to name the painting. That task of giving the title I give to my blog followers. </div>

First I have made a skyline from a city with focus on colors and how they are placed together.<br />

This part of a well known city Ålesund, I have made in many versions. This painting here is not how the area along the MOLOVEIEN is, but how I remember what I have seen based on visiting the area on the opposite side of the city´s inner harbour.</div>

Non figurative paintings have never been by best works, but this Composition is an example of how I think room decorations can be if colors are the main purpose. Landscape or portret style is up to you.<br />

Returning to Norway from Andalusia required 14 days in imposed home quarantine due to the pandemic Covid-19.<br />
Two weeks in almost isolation have given us some challenges linked to my underlying challenges after organ transplantaion and repression of the immune system. It would be bad if my 22 prolonged years should end in a viral disease.<br />
<br />

Compared to many others in quarantine Tullen and I feel lucky to have family around us, represented here with Rikke and Tor-Marius who bring food and wine to our apartment. They are not entering our flat, but put the shopping bags outside the door. Communication from the hallway with at least 2 metres distance is ok for a short time.<br />

This was my first blogpost 15 years ago with Norwegian text. At that time we could not put photos or videos into Blogger, but soon (and before YouTube etc. ) our small examples of beeing modern took place.<br />
In 2008 I changed to English language and thus expanded my blogging friends to the whole world. At the moment people from 194 countries have visited <a href="https://arneogtullen.blogspot.com/">my blog</a><br />

A year later mid March 2007 the topic was <a href="https://arneogtullen.blogspot.com/2007/03/synlige-klimaendringer-eller-naturlige.html"> climat changes</a> and I made a video about cleaning the streets in Oslo from all the snow we had. I called the video <a href="http://ia310107.us.archive.org/0/items/The_winner_takes_it_all_but.../Vvernalequinox.mp4">The winner takes it all </a>and thanks to ABBA for the sound track (Use the small size for seeing) This year we have no snow mid February.<br />

Suddenly the Spanish Government decided to shut down most of the venues where people used to meet also at Costa del Sol. Barriers like this made it clear that the beaches are closed.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Government by the Norwegian foreign minister requested all Norwegians to return home. We decided therefore to make an earlier return home. The last night at our apartment and patio during this shortened stay was used to examine some of the stars visible on the dark sky Here is the planet Venus.<br />
<br />

Now the Quarantine of 14 days has started.<br />
Maybe another blogpost will tell you how we manage the isolated situation at home. Take care.</div>

The COVID-19 or Corona Virus has also reached Spain. When writing this blogpost the number of infected are 1231 and out of these 30 deaths. However, the situation here in Malaga is still low compared to other parts of Spain.<br />
We always carry and use the anti-bac gel and are concerned with the recommendations given by health authorities.<br />
<br />

<br />
Walking along the coast is a tradition to be continued and with a space of at least 1 meter to other strollers we feel happy to experience the beauty of Costa del Sol.<br />
<br />

<br />
The second trip to Malaga city this spring is also a must and the Paseo Alameida har almost compleated its restoration with flower-boots and restplaces where previously busses filled the space.<br />
<br />

<br />
Being in Malaga without visiting Meson Iberico is impossible. However at this time the volume of people fronting the Tapas bar may give some challenges due to the virus precautions.<br />
<br />

<br />
It is more safe to visit taberna La Oliva in Fuengirola during the time when the kitchen is closed. Only denizens are present and the Ribera wine is the same.<br />
<br />

The Fuengirola river is quite clear when the wind is close to zero m/sec.<br />
<br />

Looing up when coming home to the appartment the full moon makes a beautiful image of the Spanish Sky over Costa del Sol<br />

Our hotel´s management has given us a traditional bienvenido gift and the flag is up telling the other longstayers that we has arrived.<br />

February 29th is El Dia de Andalucia and together with almost only Spanish people we had our first (but not last) lunch at La Farola. Our table was ready as expected.<br />

<br />
Another pub to be frequented is <a href="https://fruburums.no/">Fru Burums</a>. This was our "local" in the years we lived at Frogner Oslo and it is still nice to be recognized by other guests when visiting by chance.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizBV1PCBQGENAxR5JZMo5BfjLdttqdp3GATT40QjkacmQtMzCeWyn3fjpbhl5f4W7Ekr3oGjG-6IaJy0pqO1GETVTX8IMazjAzRju_DuYYQGxO1b7ontkCEyMKsj59PLYqJRwl/s1600/IMG_2188.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizBV1PCBQGENAxR5JZMo5BfjLdttqdp3GATT40QjkacmQtMzCeWyn3fjpbhl5f4W7Ekr3oGjG-6IaJy0pqO1GETVTX8IMazjAzRju_DuYYQGxO1b7ontkCEyMKsj59PLYqJRwl/s640/IMG_2188.jpg" width="616" /></a><br />
<br />
A new restaurant at Egertorvet is also recommended. <a href="https://oliviarestauranter.no/#!/restaurant/eger">Olivia Eger</a>. Real Italian / Roman and you feel welcome for lunch, dinner or just a Vino Bianco.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirPXGmpvFv8qOgRkyv16KkGfjZf_XbMZaNkVMEHnOUGuha6IjVP0J1tFsQ6jtQsAoE2DpDpDBW5tJ3vbktq62wj76Naq5cn3WfmIvmIvHsqTC8k0z6sXfJDWnglJ4JPgl0rOal/s1600/IMG_0010.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirPXGmpvFv8qOgRkyv16KkGfjZf_XbMZaNkVMEHnOUGuha6IjVP0J1tFsQ6jtQsAoE2DpDpDBW5tJ3vbktq62wj76Naq5cn3WfmIvmIvHsqTC8k0z6sXfJDWnglJ4JPgl0rOal/s640/IMG_0010.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
The lounge at Grand Cafe is also a place where you can relax over a Valpolicello Ripasso or test the fantastic winelist in the basement bar. However it is only at Grand Cafe you can look at Per Krogh´s wall painting og the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristiania_Bohemians">Kristiania Bohemians</a><br />

Without including an image from our new "local" <a href="https://www.tekehtopa.no/">Tekehtopa</a> at St Olavs square would be an insult. A great outdoor place at summer afternoons but also lovely during the dark months inside in Oslo. Highly recommended.<br />
<br />

Just for the balance I choose to share a photo form a completely different food and beverage place: a family dinner at Tullen´s sister new home. We are not eating out every day in Norway.<br />

It is only a few weeks till we again move to Spain, Andalucia, Malaga and Fuengirola.<br />
It is therefore nice to go through my photos from autumn 2019 and present some of our memories from that priode. (the blogging was difficult during that stay due to hardware and software challenges)<br />

Late September there is still summer temp at Costa del Sol, and we had a nice time both in the Aqua Bar, the Pool and along the beaches.<br />
<br />

Tullen is an early walker along the Mediterranean Sea and the sun rises when she cross the Rio Fuengirola.<br />
<br />

Our favorite restaurant La Farola is normally the first dinner venue at every stay and the Lambuena wine is mandartory. Mago Manuel in the background.<br />
<br />

Malaga City is also a target the first week and visiting the Picasso museum was on the route this time.<br />
<br />

During the autumn school holiday in Norway our daughter with family has been visiting us five years in a row. It is one of the highlights in October.<br />
<br />

<br />
Going out for visiting four or five restaurants in the evening is one of the activities the grand children love. A drink here and some food there and ending up with an icecream in the dark hours.<br />
<br />

Feria del Rosario is a week full of activities in Fuengirola, but on Octobre 7th, the spanish females dress up in colorful costumes and love to be photographed.<br />
<br />

My legs are not as they used to be, but walking along the beaches from Torreblanca to Fuengirola (with many pitstops) has become a tradition with the pesetas monument as a milestone.<br />
<br />

The nightlife in Fuengirola is not among our priorities so the full moon had to be captured from our patio.<br />
<br />
<br />

A lunchtime trip up to the white village Mijas Pueblo is also on the agenda when the weather is good and that was the situation every day except one night and some hours in one morning over 8 weeks.<br />
<br />

Visiting Cordoba without getting in line with the people who want to go inside the La Mezquita can give you a different view of this old city; the largst city and most advanced cities in the world around 1000 ad.<br />
<br />

To and from Cordoba over the Andalucian fields we use the highspeed train AVE up to 300 km/h<br />

The view of the Fuengirola harbour from the SkyBar at hotel Puerto is also one of our favorite relax areas in Fuengirola.<br />
<br />

Loving tapas we always visit Casa Lola and Cortijo de Pepe in addition to Meson Iberico. Our secrets but recommended for friends.<br />

It is time to say Hasta Luego to our lovely Andalucia with an image from La Plaza de los Chinorros. As you see I have used this corner (except Diana at La Oliva Taverna which is our "local" ) as motive for one of my paintings.<br />
