Swedish Visitors (anybody out there)

[henrik]

Hej,
(if not native, you just learned your first Swedish word http://www.wetcanvas.com/ubb/smile.gif

I was just wondering if there are more Swedish painters visting WebCanvas. I was contacted by at least one vistor wondering if there is a Swedish message board around somewhere - I as far as I know there is nothing (NOTHING) compared to WetCanvas.

Anyway, I think international visitors may be intimidated by the language barrier in general, and also perhaps lack of english art/material terminology. Hey Old Holland and Grumbacher may be great, but here in Sweden we have the local supplier "Beckers".

I also have a friend at work (Peter I won't mention your name http://www.wetcanvas.com/ubb/cool.gif , but please show us your work) - so that makes us three.

If there are more Swedes; maybe we can persuade Scott to give us a "Swedish corner".

Men hallå - kom igen då! (a small encouragement to my fellow countrymen and women in case you wondered).

Hej Henrik!

Det är första gången jag skriver något överhuvud taget i suveräna Wetcanvas. Jag tror att många, liksom jag är rädda att "göra bort sig" när de skriver på engelska. Jag hoppas att svenskarna hittar till den här diskussionen, så vi får veta om fler är intresserade av en "Swedish corner"!!!
Finns det kanske möjlighet att annonsera om diskussionen på startsidan?

Detta är en bra början, Henrik!

Hälsningar Ellis.

Hei Ellis,
Puhutko Suomea?

[henrik]

Sorry guys, this post is in Swedish....

Ellis, kul att Du skriver, jag har pratat med Scott om antalet svenskar som besöker WetCanvas, men tyvärr har dom inte statistiken på det sättet (dom kan se IP adress, men inte vilket domän - .se dvs.).

Kanske kan få nåt på första sidan om det är någon mer Svensk som hittar hit.

[henrik]

Swedes - come on. I know you are out there. We have 2 registered Swedes now, and three from Norway.

Henrik..my grandfather was Swedish and I give a mean Swedish massage, am a HUGE fan of Zornes and Kroyer..can I join now!? I w ould like to see many, many more artists outside the USA come to this site, as I have a great curiosity as to what is going on in their worlds!!

[henrik]

Hi Sandy, we can count you as Swedish if you like http://www.wetcanvas.com/ubb/smile.gif but you have to read up on the Scandinavian painters... Kroyer is from Denmark http://www.wetcanvas.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Thanks for visiting this desolate thread.

[sandyartist]

Sorry henrik..you are right, Danish he is..I was giving Sweden credit for the whole Nordic Luminist School...great painters though!!

[Maria]

One more Swede!! http://www.wetcanvas.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hej! Jag har precis upptäckt WetCanvas (har bara haft internet i en vecka) men känt till det ett tag tack vare min kompis Ellis. Och jaaa, visst borde vi få ett "Swedish corner"! http://www.wetcanvas.com/ubb/smile.gif Hur många av oss krävs det tills det kan bli verklighet? Till dess ska jag bekanta mig mer med den engelska biten (=hela) Wetcanvas!

[henrik]

MARIA !!!!
Great - now there are as many registered Swedes as there are Norwegians (i.e. 3).

Welcome!

[Ellis]

Hej Maria!
Kul att du hittade hit!
Henrik - har du missat Eliza? Vi är åtminstone 4 svenskar här! Och hoppas på att bli fler, förstås!

[henrik]

Måste erkänna att jag i hastigheten blandade ihop Ellis och Eliza.

Henrik, we have five pages' worth of members from Sweden registered at the site, and doubtless more, since not everyone indicates their country in their profile. Find 'em using the Member Directory advanced search: http://www.wetcanvas.com/Articles2/7231/668/

[Mariette Deveau]

but in the year 2000 when he posted that quote, there was probably only 2 registered Swedes... :lol:

In 2000, there were probably barely 200 members of WetCanvas in total! :lol:

[Yorky]

A search of the members Directory reveals we have 210 Swedish members, or at least with Sweden as their country.
