This blog is an invitation into my studio and into the thoughts, places, and experiences that shape my paintings. Here you’ll find stories behind new work, pages from my sketchbooks, works in progress, and reflections on the moments that often become the beginning of a new painting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/6c9da54f-007f-4b5e-90ae-daf85a1d0a8c/B8170941-8F98-49A0-8704-E5BD2262DA97_1_102_o.jpeg Blog - Welcome to My Studio The landscapes around us and within us People often assume my paintings are about the landscapes they recognize: a mountain ridge, a winding trail, the shifting light across a marsh. This is often where they begin. But somewhere between the walk in nature and the canvas, those places morph. They mingle with memories, emotions, reflections, and imagination until they become something less like a specific location and more like a feeling. I’ve come to realize that I’m not trying to recreate a place as much as explore what it leaves behind inside me. We all carry landscapes within us. Places that shaped us. Places we return to in memories. Places that become symbols of comfort, change, hope, or inspiration. Those are the landscapes I’m most interested in exploring through paint. As a nature artist, I’m continually inspired by the conversation between the outer world and the inner one. My paintings live somewhere in that space between observation and imagination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/eeb7412f-4c70-4a07-bd4a-93df30d7e4de/TOOMUCHTOLOVE.jpg Blog - Welcome to My Studio Inside the process My paintings always begin with exploration. I love playing with color in my sketchbooks, making marks with non-traditional tools (like sticks and spatulas), and observing how different art materials mix together to form new textures. I never know how a painting will turn out when I begin. I love that about the work. The process is about following my intuition and responding to what the painting is telling me it wants. It sounds a little nutty, but that’s how it works. There are layers that disappear beneath the new ones, unexpected marks become essentials, and moments where the painting reveals it’s focal point. Learning to trust this process has become one of the greatest gifts painting has given me. Here I’ll share that journey. Yes, you’ll see finished work but you’ll also see the experimentations, discoveries, and surprises that happen along the way. https://britanordin.com/home daily 1.0 2026-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/2a5a299a-a81e-4eaf-8194-bcc0dfbfa34c/a39ceaa4296ccb202135a0c36d2a6ac518aa22d61ec1b0ed01ea25fa9fee429d.png Home Home office with a wooden desk, leather chair, abstract oil painting by Brita Nordin on the wall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/8ef64bdb-2774-4b40-b8e0-d230e7a4ce2f/75b99f4c804425d833b8826be3b41815d322de6af971696157e6a338190479b7.png Home Living room with a beige sofa, decorative pillows, a wooden coffee table with a large abstract painting by Brita Nordin on the wall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/a077662c-de95-4027-b717-e9137e18874a/b7a4c8d3bd67904ceb5ef007c6179f564a4470c2e0d50b74a36b4f5cfe9d004c.png Home Interior view of a bathroom with an abstract oil painting by Brita Nordin on the wall, a window with a plant on the ledge, a beige towel hanging on a brass hook, and a marble sink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/6192be4f-93e2-4b13-9332-40fa6614b63e/ae1607de9f859f0e014ca73b12d9b5130d21bca1a79f4e06937589c302fd712d.png Home Entryway with a wooden console table, decorative bowls, a potted cactus, a basket beneath, abstract painting on the wall by Brita Nordin, and books, near a window and doorway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/fa8024a9-3ff1-418e-ab19-8a6fd0df4164/Journey.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/4b60bf17-8187-4779-bfc1-9a83e71849b7/IMG_2345.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/dc04748b-9091-450f-8a2e-6ec01b77293e/Majestic+Web.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/f2e6adaf-87e3-4be8-918a-4a4be6b061b4/New+Light+Web.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/4898c845-c8e4-4b54-bb63-427084ab30e7/Liminal.jpeg https://britanordin.com/about daily 0.75 2026-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/8cc38a3f-db54-41b2-90d5-174bb849e8ab/Foundation+1.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/7b006d4b-fec2-473b-b1c5-0bd8439ea2a4/Brita_Nordin_VP_Product%281%29+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/5c0d49de-f301-4427-b5a9-5173921c1f21/670E6FD5-AC1B-46BA-9FE9-F67117C4C740.png https://britanordin.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0710ab318c5a652f2b2025/a5786977-d4ba-42a5-9090-e83c314fb260/Foundation+2.jpeg https://britanordin.com/portfolio daily 0.75 2026-07-08
