A bucolic Swedish village next to the sea has come to life after the long, cold winter. The whitewashed houses, flower gardens, stunning red barns, and steepled churches, all against the green grass, stun ones eye. The illustrator Monika Forsberg shares a view of her home with this land and sea piece. As always, in her bright, cheerful, and organic way, she captures simple summer life, where the water is soft, the sun is warm, and the coffee is strong.
