The more I scream that I don't want to be tagged, the more I get tagged. This time I'm the hpy victim of
Cuckoo.
Rule:
Go to the advanced book search on Amazon, type your first name into the Title field, and post the most interesting/amusing cover that shows up.
So I did, and the first book I found was one about Helene Scherfbeck. I didn't look further.
Helene Scherfbeck (1862-1946) was a Finnish painter and what more, the one my mother liked best. As a child I had the chance to see several of her paintings, some of them very often, and I must agree with my mother. They are highly sensitive. They are the best.
I had the chance to see many Finnish paintings during my childhood.
The forging of the Sampo by Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931) was my favourite painting for a long time when I was just a little girl.
One of the best known portraits, if not the best one of Louis Pasteur was painted by Albert Edelfelt (1854-1905), but I knew many other of his paintings, and I liked them very much. I still do.
When I close my eyes and say Helene Scherfbeck to myself, I can see one particular painting. Still today.
I grew up with these paintings. They are part of me.
Now I must ask some of you to do the same, to find your book and to tell us all about it.
