Faeries-Goblins-Sylphs-Trolls

...."Rolf Lidberg Jonas, 1930 - 2005. Swedish artist and botanist best known for his watercolor paintings and books with paintings of trolls depicting their life near Sweden's Indal river. In his illustrations, his trolls were very human, and usually occupied with something in nature, such as berry or mushroom picking, fishing or gazing up in the sky".... ..."Once upon a time, I thought faeries lived only in books, old folktales, and the past. That was before they burst upon my life as vibrant, luminous beings permeating my art and my everyday existence, causing glorious havoc Faeries are seen through the heart, not through the eyes, remember that faeries inhabit the interior of the earth and the interior of all things, so look, in the first place, in the interior of yourself"...
