When the summer's coming...

remember the winter time!

In the middle of the winter I made this clay figure Lars from a sketch I made earlier. Although I can't stand cold weather and my joints suffer from the cold, I still like the winter. Snow, the times you can see your breath, the sound when you step on snow and the opportunity to go ice-skating on a lake (not possible in my area but I can dream about it, right?!). And don't forget the sleighs, the snowmen, the snowball fights, the cosiness when you're fully dressed for the challenge of a walk in the cold.

Unfortunately, the most of those nice moments didn't happen this year. We didn't have enough snow to go with sleighs or even throw a few snowballs! And I am 21! What a misery would it be for children of 6 or 8?!

Anyway: Lars ladies and gentlemen. A man full of winter visions and memories.
