Shape motif

The bread loaf: a low dome on a round foot. Turf roofs, the well's cap, haystacks and round apple trees all repeat it.

Light

Late morning, clear, puffy clouds; clean white-gold daylight, no orange glow, no sunset colours. Value key 0.38 to 0.55.

Plants and ground

Daisies in the turf and flower tubs at every door. A lawn with big rounded tan cobbles set in it.

Architecture

Low turf-roofed cottages, cream plaster, round sky-blue doors with rosemaling. One painted ornament per building.

Creatures

Animal villagers in clothes, hens, a kitten. The classic round skumling never comes in.

Never

A straight roof ridge.

Transition in and out

Solengen is the heart of the inside: lanes lead up the hill to Møllebakken and out to the gates. Against Møllebakken it differs by hue (turf green against tile red) and motif (a low dome against a tall gable); the ground carries the rest, lawn here and cobbles there. Out through a gate, the five things of the seam flip, and the gate tubs' flowers come back outside as wild drifts of the same colours.

Scene: the village square of Solengen at eleven in the morning under a clear blue sky: clean white-gold daylight, no orange glow, no sunset colours. A round stone well in the middle of a small square of big rounded tan cobbles with grass growing between them and a green lawn round it; low cottages with thick green turf roofs with daisies, a bakery with a carved pretzel sign and one sky-blue door painted with rosemaling flower scrolls (the only painted ornament in the picture), flower tubs of rose and butter-yellow flowers, bunting, lanterns on posts, a bench with a basket left on it, round apple trees. A small princess of about eight with curly brown hair, a small gold crown, a red cape and a leather backpack stands by the well seen from behind at three-quarter, talking to a friendly fox baker in an apron; a rabbit postman crosses the square. Half the picture is yellow-green: turf roofs, grass and trees; then honey sandstone, cream plaster and warm timber; small accents of rose and sky blue. Soft blue-violet shadows. Simplify: big clear painted shapes, cobbles in a few tones, fur as soft masses.
