The light in Skagen is wonderful and that is why so many artists have been living and painting there.

Heres a neat "Grand Banks " style painting by Thomas M Hoyne. His work was almost wntirely done on location (He rode along with the cod fleets)

Heres a Chritopher Blossom painting of the Americ' cup race that ws attended by The King and when he asked <"Well who's in second place?"
(Knowing that the America was in the lead)The king's secretary answered
"Your majesty, there is no second place"
