On the corner

On the corner
Back when I worked at a company on Södermalm in Stockholm I would often walk past this mural at the corner of Östgötagatan and Kocksgatan. Made by the artist that worked there for many years. His name was Bengt Elde. He titled himself tavelmålare. And this is a self-portrait. He also painted colorful Stockholm views. Theme Day at City Daily Photo. Street Corners.

Google translate tells me he was calling himself "table painter." Hm. Wonder if that's the whole story.

Tavla is the Swedish word for painting.

Sunflower mural looks fluffy and chalky

Good timing to catch a walker in front of the mural.
