Repost from 2016 Not many days left to Christmas now. The Christmas songs echoing in my head constantly. This is one of them. A Swedish classic Christmas song.

Today we celebrate Walpurgis night in Sweden. Ancient tradtion as far as I know. I made a rockpainting of a fire and some singers in white student hats. This video show a very common kind of celebration. A big fire and student singers that sing songs welcoming the Spring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj10eGkbsds This is the Swedish lyrics… Continue reading Walpurgis Night Valborg
I will never grow up, so chalk crayons on a piece of rock will always be fun for me. This time I drew a bird and a nest. Many birds are busy right now with watching over their eggs. This bird has the nest high up in a tree. Maybe it's a whitetailed eagle. Anna
One of my favorite birds. En av mina favoritfåglar. It was fun to do this painting with all happy colors. Det var roligt att måla denna bild med alla glada färger. I would like to see puffins in real life someday. Det vore kul att få se lunnefåglar i verkligheten någongång. Anna

It was the content, the message, the lesson about human behavior that got stucked in my head. This memory of the film has… Continue reading This is why I’m not on fb

The Swedish Icebreaker boats are named after the nordic gods. Work boats also always have men names. But not mine. My icebreaker is named after me 🙂 and I'm not a nordic god, so I break several unwritten rules in this painting. I did the painting for more reasons than to break unwritten rules. I… Continue reading Icebreaker Anna
You see, I can make nice paintings too 🙂 Anna
