I am obsessed with this photo of my grandfather’s school class (Hudiksvall, Sweden). He is in the top left. I have drawn it over and over and painted it. But something never allows me to finish. I get as far as some of the girls, then the rest refuse a portrait. I will try again sometime. See what happens. What are the students trying to tell me?
oh, I was looking at this when I was last visiting! I love the painting…
so strange how striking old school photos can be…this one, especially. lost souls, almost.
