Carl Larsson is one of my favorite artist. He painted beautiful idyllic pictures of rural family life in Sweden. He overcame a harsh childhood as the son of an alcoholic father and grew up to become a successful artist and family man.

What's the dude on the right that's looking at us holding and doing?
That's the guy taking up the offering, like the basket on a stick some churches use. This is a bag on a stick...
Don't be silly, Angevoix! It's a windsock, to see which way the Spirit is moving! ;)

He does. I like this style of art. Light and unsophisticated and mildly comic. It looks like a book illustration.
Yes, its a little different from my usual "Art" taste, which is a little heavier and more serious. There is just something so compelling about his images though, which I feel probably has a lot to do with his difficult childhood and subsequent determination to make a better life for himself...
I look at his work and its as if I can feel the joy and relief of a dream realized...
