Heaven and hell

And here we go again! Another hate attack with a lot of people murdered. Please stop this madness. Let there be a heaven for all these victims and let the guilty ones go to h-ll.

Art again by my late mother Gunvor, from my stable here in Sweden. Love not hate, peace not terror and war! Be safe out there, from Turkey to the rest of the world!

Love my table by Frédéric Iriarte

Is this fun or what!?
Have this colorful coffee table in my livingroom now, just between my sofas, do you like it as much as I do?

It is really fun and colorful. Made in wood, and with a glass top, by French artist Frederic Iriarte, now living here in Sweden. A bit of Pop Art, maybe?

A reminder of peace

After the horrible terror attacs in Belgium today, I must post this, a reminder of my late mother Gunvor that did this face of Jesus, carved in wood.

Peace to all of you out there in the world!

More Easter greetings

It is Easter and with this photos of my mother Gunvors art, I will wish you again a:
REALLY HAPPY EASTER!!

This is a statue made of driftwood of Jesus on the cross, perfect for today.

And a close up of the art piece made by my late mother Gunvor.

Painting by Edvard Friström

Some years ago I bought this painting in a shop, without knowing anything about the artist. Now I know he is known as Clas Edvard Friström, or Edward Fristrom, born in Sweden 1864, but he moved abroad and became a famous painter in New Zealand.

He then moved again with his family, wife and their children, to the USA, where he died 1950, in California. My painting in watercolor is probably made in Sweden, it is a view of Kalmar Castle.

A Close up on the signature, Edward Fristrom.

Now a piece of my late mother Gunvor's art again, a statue of two people in love, but it is called a Love struggle.

It is like a dance they do together, or what do you see?

More art by my mother

On the outside you can se the pattern she had done with the help of an old crocheted table cloth.

A scene from my wall

Just another painting from my late mother Gunvor that is hanging on my wall, love it.

It is a scene from the landscapte just outside her house, just like it is just now, with a little snow here and there.

Hands on cross

My late mother Gunvor made some amazing art in her life, this one is one of them.

Love this sculpture with the hands - united on the cross. Helping, caring and loving hands. Is is just what we all need in these days!!

Faces on the wall

My mother Gunvor made a lot of self portraits during the years, from her youth to some more recent.

She put them up on a wall before her death some years ago. I left them there as a memory of her.

Candle now inside the house

Just some days ago I wrote about my late mother Gunvors art - this time a little building that was made for a candle.

Here it is again, the house is made of ceramic and glass. Now with a candle inside.

And if you have not seen it before I show it again, in day light.

A home for your candles

This is a lovely building made by my mother in ceramic and glass, it is made like a candle holder.

You just lift it up and plce one of them on the plate. And then you have a very nice piece of art - by my late mother Gunvor.

Art in the window

My mother Gunvor's art is really everywhere, here one piece of her ceramic work is in this window.

It is another one that is made of her inspiration from Mother Earth. It is a really big seedpod.
Made a page on Facebook with my mothers things:

Icy outside

It is very icy outside now here in Sweden. At least where I stay, close to the airport of Stockholm. So it is very difficult to walk.

But it is getting better, I hope it will rain away soon. But I give you something much nicer to look at, my mothers apples.

I have the apples in ceramic outside my house when it's summer. They are so lovely.

Mother with children

My mother Gunvor is no longer with us here on earth, but her work lives on. Forever. Love you mom!!

Here is one of the sculptures I own, a mother and her children in ceramic. Love it so much!!

Heaven made of fabric

This is another of my favorites by my mother Gunvor, a "painting" in fabric. It's a art piece of heaven and earth. Heaven made of cloth.

You could see a lot in it, depending of your faith. I love it, what do you think?
