Illustrations for Desiree Saarela

I went to the singer songwriter Desiree  Saarela, my dear friend in Österbotten, Finland.

She told me the stories behind some songs that she was about to record.

On my way back to Sweden, those paintings where born on the ferry.

It was something with the light, the melting snow, the blue sea and the bare story Desiree shared.

I was deeply touched.
