I have just published a book, available on Blurb at http://www.blurb.com/search/site_search?search=Seeing+the+Familiar&filter=bookstore&commit=Search
I was in the April issue of Maine Home and Design: the "Art Issue: 60 artists to buy while you can still get them" and there is a nice article about me in the August issue of the same magazine.(www.mainehomedesign.com)
I will be in a three person show in Gleason Fine Art in Portland, September 11-October 30, with a reception October 1st (www.gleasonfineart.com)
The July 5 day workshop went very well and there is one space left for the August 3 day workshop. See details below:

Björn Runquist will host two painting workshops this summer at his home/studio, a 5 day, July 18-23, 2010 and a 3 day, August 22-25, 2010, in Clark Island, on the Saint George peninsula. The workshop will be an introduction to the basics of plein-air painting, focusing on the dynamics of building a painting and the techniques of alla prima painting as well as employing the same techniques to paint from digital photos. Particular emphasis will be on capturing light and its use as a compositional element. The workshop is open to all levels.

- The April issue of "Maine Home + Design" (www.mainehomedesign.com) has included me in their selection of artists to watch.
- The show at Bachelier Cardonsky was a good success. Unfortunately, they have decided to close after 20 years in Kent. Happily, I have joined Morrison Gallery and they will have some of my work up on their website soon. Samples of the new "River" Paintings are on my website. They represent work of the past year.
I was featured in the Fall 2009 issue of Maine Food and Life Styles magazine. It's a nice informal piece about me, my work, my love for painting and for cooking!
