Greta Lann I Jesu Namn (Swedish) In Jesus Name
8x10 Print
This is a traditional prayer of blessing over a meal. I made it as an illustration for a book about a wonderful Swede who moved to America and the adventures of her life. I was inspired by the stone-carved boughs of fruit and greenery decorating the apartment houses of Strandvägen, along the waterfront in Stockholm.
