I read about a local Norwegian artist who is 86 years old and runs his own art studio. He sells acrylic paintings of Norwegian scenery of everyday life inside and out. He also carves the most endearing sculptures of everyday work. And he makes “tine” pronounced “tina.” They are round lidded boxes that were used as lunch boxes and for toting items.

We sat at listened to Joe Molvik’s life story in his small studio. And then I had to buy a tine.
