Rode the bike 30 minutes west to the area of Skähamn. More inclines and constant mot-vind. And more art!
This is the Nordic Watercolour Museum and the primary reason why I added Bohuslän (this west coast area) to my itinerary. I have been thinking this place for over year after I saw it on Design Mom’s blog. I went through a watercolour phase a few years ago so I was pumped.
See those three structures to the left? Residency studios. How cool would it be to live and create there for a while?

The main exhibit featured work by Arne Isacsson, a founder of Nordiska Akvarellmuseet. Soft blues. Deep grays reflecting the surrounding terrain. Ochre tones. Some texture from using the monochrome technique (totally new to me). Really good.
I walked behind the museum to cool rock formations and just watched boats sail in and out.
Then I went next door to Port Sud for a big bowl of mussels and a cidre.
