We spent our time in the small town of Tofte in a comfortable wooden cabin. Our cabin was neatly placed right next to the Oslo Fijord with an awesome view over the water. Just on sunday I was running through a quite forest which was followed by a lengthily swim in the sea. I could have easily spent couple months there just relaxing and taking my time about my daily sustenance!

I had the time to look through some illustrations and stumbled upon Theodor Ketlesen (April 27, 1857 – January 21, 1914) who is one of the most famous artist in Norway. He was famous for his nature paintings but also for his illustrations of fairy tales, legends and trolls.

Below are some of Theodor Ketlesen illustrations:

Theodor Kittelsen - The Princess Gathering Cotton Grass Theodor Kittelsen - Draugen Theodor Kittelsen - Fattig Mann Theodor Kittelsen - Kvitebjørn Kong Valemon 1912 Theodor Kittelsen- Musstad 1896 Theodor Kittelsen - Nøkken 1887-92 - (The Water Sprite) Theodor Kittelsen - Nokken Theodor Kittelsen - skogtroll 1906 forest troll Theodor Kittelsen - Huldra forsvant Theodor Kornstaur - i måneskinn 1900 (Stooks of Corn in Moonlight) Theodor Kittelsen - Sjøtrollet 1887 (The Sea Troll) Theodor Kittelsen - Hakkespett 1912 (Woodpecker)
