Water color and Pastel crayons on paper

75×52 cm

The Swedish Midsummer’s day is sort of a big thing where I am from. It is the celebration of the longest day of the year which in a dark country like Sweden is something in which to rejoice.

So on this day I sort of feel a lot more Swedish than I would usually do. So I went down to the park where some Swedish people in Tokyo had organized a drinking gathering hang out spot with Swedish music and what not.

We eat and drink and enjoy each other’s company for a few hours in the park.

So around Kero (which is my symbol for me) there are pretty flowers, grass, ball games and interesting conversation in red and yellow flowing into my ears. The little green dude is a guy from Argentina called Miguel with whom I had an interesting chat about safety in warehouses that focus specifically on huge rolls of commercial paper….life is random.

I am specifically happy about the fact that in this one I am not using any markers for accent but relying only on pastel crayons to create the dreamy bubbly sort of effect I strive for.

Hope you like it

瑞典仲夏节在我家乡是一个很重大的事情。这是一年中最长的一天的庆祝活动，在一个像瑞典这样一个充满漫长黑夜的国家里，仲夏节是值得庆祝的。

所以在这一天，我总觉能感觉瑞典人比平时会多很多。于是我去了公园，在那里，居住在日本东京的一些瑞典人组织了一个饮酒聚会，布满了瑞典音乐以及其它节庆的东西。

我们一起吃，一起喝，在这个公园，享受彼此这几个小时的陪伴。

在Kero（这是我的标志）的周围，有各种漂亮的花，草，球类运动，在红色和黄色的流入我的耳朵有趣的谈话。这个绿色小家伙是一个来自阿根廷的家伙，叫米格尔，我和他聊了一个有趣的话题，关于仓库的安全问题，重点放在巨大的商业票据上……生活其实很随机。

关于这幅作品，我特别高兴的是，我并没有像平常使用很多水彩马克笔，而只是用彩色蜡笔去创造我试图达到的这种梦幻般泡影的效果。

希望你喜欢它!
