A Purple Night

It is still winter here in Norway, with huge amounts of snow slowly soaring down from the skies.

The temperature has been locked steady below -10 degrees celsius, but now it is starting to get warmer.

Also, the daylight is staying longer and longer through our afternoons, which is a source of new energy in itself.

Soon the snow will be melting, and the frozen earth beneath will flourish with growths of all colours.

I am looking forward to that sight of spring, which made me think about this watercolour painting I made a while back.

I picture this as such a spring evening.

There is still frost in the ground, but the air is filled with a breeze turning warmer and warmer.

It’s almost like the trees and the grass are giving their first wiggles of life.

Waking up from a long, cold sleep.
