ohh! musica excelente...

[alfacroma]

I am very glad you like these "blue" tunes of northern Scandinavia. Thank you a lot.

[EdFone]

Not hard to tell you like Pink Floyd!!

Close my eyes and I can imagine David Gilmour playing.....Well done as ever.

Regards Ed.

[alfacroma]

Yeah, shure it is Gilmour and Pink Floyd. But it is also typical Swedish folklore and somewhat melancholic tunes so common in Swedish folk tunes.

Very atmospheric and somewhat sad tones that kept me listening and fed my imagination. Wonderful art and also reminiscent of Arthur Rackam. MN64

[alfacroma]

@superscion88 its a shame people think of nerdy asswipes on the internet now, instead of traditional trolls of folklore

[superscion88]

Ladies and gentleman! I present to you! The internet!! (trolls lmao)

Thank you for your nice comment on my shadows interpretations and also for the info on Bauer. His death was a tragic accident and loss and as you probably know due to his dislike of alternative method of travel. Hoping to visit wonderful Sweden one day and view his original work. MN64

Thank you for your comment. John Bauer was among others influenced by Rackham. They both - as far as I know - kind of had their peaks at the same time. Bauer with his wife and little son were tragically killed in a boat accident 1918. In Sweden he is a legend for his magnificant illustrations of the fairy tales "Bland Tomtar OchTroll" a swedish classic. His drawings and paintings can be seen at the Jönköping Museum in Sweden.
