Carl Larsson was a Swedish painter born in 1853. He always considered his oil paintings to be amongst his best work, yet it was first when he started with watercolors that his carrier started taking off. Carl Larsson married Karin Bergöö, an excellent painter, crafter and designer. Together they had 8 children. Karin's artistic taste and bold design played a central role in Carl's work. The sense of partnership they seemed to have both in life as well as their creative work is what truly inspires me - in addition to beautiful illustrations of course. I also love that Carl Larssons work make me feel so at home - very Scandinavian.
