Strawberries were filled with the sweetness of the sun and they were all around the house. The grass tickled toes while walking to pick a handful or a branch of rhubarb. The water in the forest pond was just perfect to swim and forget the hot air for a few minutes. A few days I was upstairs of my grandparents´ painting a tiger with heterochromia.
Today the postman brought this taste of last summer. It is an album by Lars Ludvig Löfgren and the illustrations are made by me. The originals can be seen here and here.
The winter is still very precious and I want to keep it but it was lovely to feel the summer for a small moment. Happy Monday!
Edit:
P.s. Here is a review of the cd and a nice compliment of my work, thank you so much!
P.p.s The design is by great Häleri.
Mila, mu daughter, and I, we love your tiger !
ReplyDeleteAnd bravo for this new book !
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet Anne and Mila (what a beautiful name)! This is not actually a book but a cd (: Thank you anyway!
ReplyDeleteI realised that just after for the album... It's just because I live in a world of books, so many books... And because in french, an album is too a book with illustrations... Anyway, I will listen the music of The Album !
ReplyDeletevoi anna, tämä on niin ihana. tuli hyvin paljon kesä ikävä, just huomasin miten paljon rakastan kesää! viime kesänä olin suomessa, nyt haluun takaisin. terkkuja sinulle!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday Anne,
ReplyDeleteI understand that completely. An album in Finnish "albumi" might be a comic novel. Funny are the words.
