My experience in Finland is turning out to be very different from the one in Sweden last year, and not just because of the different seasons. While superficially both places seem to resemble each other (a small village somewhere lost in the woods, near lakes), the similarities end there. Björkö was, or seemed, lonelier and wilder. While I never really saw a lynx around there, the possibility wasn't completely far-fetched.
My husband and I both agree with you, Tom... while The Wounded Angel is worthy of accolades, The Sheep Girl is a much more haunting painting. The expression on the girl's face really stays with you. Thanks for the virtual art museum tour!
