Rogalandsbunad

Rogaland, a Norwegian county, has several bunads, which all are embroidered. This particular Rogalandsbunad has the pattern stemming from Tjelmeland, and might be this one of the less known ones. At least it seems less known as I’ve bought lots of magazines featuring lots of National costumes, hoping they’ll show photos of this one, without any luck.

This year has been a bit different, which also includes a different way Norway has spent celebrating its national day. Usually there are large parades and lots of people gathering, but due to Corvid-19 that hasn't been possible. Therefore I decided to paint some of Norway's national costumes, which are often seen during our national day. Call it my way of partaking in the celebration.
