    How come you are familiar with Larsson's work? Very few outside Sweden know of him.;))

  7. Protege ~ My sister introduced me to Carl Larsson years ago. I think I first saw his work in greeting cards and also featured in a picture calendar. I love his paintings...such a beautiful glimpse into Swedish life!
