Last Sunday sitting by the open window watching the grey rainy afternoon go by I finished this little painting "Clump". Its done with watercolour, pen and coloured pencil.

5 walks Hercynia silva

"Hercynia silva" doesn't that sound so poetic old and wonderful.
Last night I was searching for more info on the forest and came across this short film made by artists "Anna Abraham" and Jan Frederik Groot". This video is so close to perfect. To me it has the same feeling as my favourite black metal songs a kind of nostalgic longing mixed with dread. I cant explain it but I'm always chasing it.

Below is a little introduktion to the film taken from their website- 

"In the northern region is the vast expanse of the Hercynian forest, untouched by the ages and coeval with the world, which surpasses all marvels by its almost immortal destiny." (Pliny, ‘Natural History’ 23-79 AD)

"The horror and grandeur of the last remnants of Northern European primary forest conjure up a history of hunting, fleeing and meetings with magical creatures. The first part of a series of films on the cultural meaning of landscape."
