A three-hour ride later, north of Los Angeles, you enter the outer skirts of the town Solvang. A Scandinavian transplant into the heart of the Californian wine country. I was hoping to find Pølser here and they had, somewhat close, but simply called it danish hot dog.
A minute after the freeway exit you pass the Hitching Post, which you might remember from the movie “Sideways” – a personal favorite of mine.
Solvang itself is a nice little and buzzing town with a astonishing gallery as I discovered. The Artist Chris Pavlov, who is also the owner of the Pavlov Art Gallery, shows European artists ( France, Montenegro and Macedonia ) , as well as local artists and is focused on impressionistic and contemporary art.
My favorite painting, indicated by the red arrow below, is rich in structure and very complex in color. I am still guessing around how the artist actually applied the different layers of color onto the very structured surface and it might remain a puzzle but is fascinating none the less.
