This painting has a very special story behind. When I lived in the southern part of Denmark from 1984 to 1988, I went out in the country side on a bicycle to find interesting subjects for my paintings. I saw this large house end on a old farm and painted this motif short time after.

It was accepted by a special theme exhibition "The country side today", arranged by "The Agricultural Council of Denmark". When a farmer saw this painting in his membership magazine, he get very upset and wanted to put a advokat on me for showing his expropriated farm so detailed. The advokat contactet me, and I was surprised. I had created a good newrealistic artwork that now made history. I contacted the farmer, and the evening same day I had a meeting with him in his living room. At the same time came 2 journalists and photographers from the local newspapers.

The farmer gave a long interview to the journalists over a cup of coffe and cookies. There was taken photos of the farmer and me in front of the farmers house end. He told that "The Agricultural Council of Denmark" had bought my painting and given to him. Next day the local medies brought the farmers story in big space with photos. In this way I could help the farmer to publish his story, and to give me promotion at the same time.

This original art work is now sold to The Agricultural Council of Denmark and handed over as a present to the farmer
