Katie m. Berggren painting: Relaxed Peace

"Relaxed Peace"
Acrylic on Canvas
18x14"
January 2008

From The Artist:
I took a summer trip to Aland, an island between Finland and Sweden – and several months later (maybe it’s the cold weather right now in Washington) I am inspired by the warmth and freedom of the locale.

I appreciated the relaxed way with kids: kids crawling in the dirt, enjoying candy and staying up late to dance and partake in the sauna (nude, of course) with the adults. I noticed the kids experiencing life right along side the adults, and I took note of calm and happy kids. I add to this my belief in treating my children like little people versus treating them like little morons – my children and I have wonderful conversations – wild, varied, wacky and inspiring.
