Hmmm that’s a long drive if you are not living on the area, to go there just to buy a souvenir is not ideal there are lots of souvenir shops around and they all carry the same stuffs, although I must admit I only gave in to a painting that I saw in Karen Blixen.

Can anyone provide the contact details/website of the young, male artist who paints from the porch at Karen Blixen’s House?
A:
No one was painting on the porch the day we visited. Have you contacted the museum and asked for the information you want? I’m sure they would know who is painting there.
