Looking at this image makes my fingers hurt

Frithjof Smith-Hald born in Norway in 1846. Died in 1937.

ReplyDeleteHaving moved to a different clime this year, I am very conscious of the changes in the weather. We largely take for granted that for the bulk of the population, we neither have to live directly with the weather thanks to climate control nor give a great deal of thought to how our next meal will appear.
Frithjof Smith-Hald died the year Maryrose Wampler was born.
ReplyDeleteI like his art.
