It is more winter in the archipelago than in town. But easter was sunny so soon the snow will be gone there as well. I long for summer holiday SO much when I´m out there. The eggs are supposed to be my sister-in-law and my husband. She is in the bottom pic aswell if you want to check the resemblance.
Back from the little village in the archipelago. We had a nice and calm Christmas. It´s a special ambiance out there near the sea, when it is cold and dark. Inspired by that I did this old lady that could have lived in a red wooden house.
Tomorrow we celebrate Midsummer. It is the longest day of the year (in the north of Sweden it is day light day-and-night) We eat herring, drink grogs and dance around a maypole. I´ll be back in a couple of days.
Illustrations I´ve made for Viking Line that are a bit ”midsummerish” and some illustrations from and old cookbook. The b/w is about dill, a typical Midsummer herb.
I´ve had a relly nice and calm weekend in the archipelago. Some photos.
If you wonder about the grey lady laying down, it´s my mother waiting for the sun.
I feel a bit like a rookie with my new camera but I enjoy it a lot. If you want to visit a blog with really nice photos, go to www.smosch.com.
