Anna Anchers house (and her husband Michael too)

There is a lot I can say about the Skagen painters, but one of my favorites is Anna Anchers.  Her husband and daughter were also artists and from what I can gather she was well respected in the artists community.  Her work is often more intimate than some of her contemporaries focusing on home and family and bathing them always in the beautiful Skagen light. 

Here are some pictures from her and her husbands house. http://www.anchershus.dk/english/

1. I'm inspired to use a tapestry/rug for my tablecloth.  Bohemian level expert! 

2.  Fresh flowers in Michaels spacious studio. Also, more rugs as tablecloths!

3.  Anna's studio is cleaner and simpler than her husbands.  I read that it was more a private space for her to work from whereas her husbands studio (Rihanna next door) was more social.

4. Tools of the trade in Anna's studio.

5.  The kitchen.

6.  My favorite double portrait. Michael and Anna painted each other's portraits in the same painting.  The title is called 'Appraising the Days Work', they must have had a terrific relationship.
