Even though it's after midnight, I thought I'd participate in my very first Fine Art Friday. So many of the activities, like Get Real Monday and the Tour of Homes I can't participate in easily because I have to wrangle the laptop away from my husband as soon as he walks in the door so I can upload photos. With this, I can just swipe 'em off the web. :-)Carl Larsson was a Swedish painter who captured so well my ideal bucolic life but in much richer tones than I could ever hope to live.
I love the bright colors, the candid expressions, and the everyday activities in his pieces, like women making meals, children dressing for church, chickens nesting by a gate, couples painting walls, inside and out. I hope to someday add some of his prints to my home, especially my piano room, which is painted in somewhat Carl Larssonish colors.Maybe this one?--------------------->
I can just picture it. I think it would look so lovely here...
don't you?
