A seal happily squished inside an orange bucket with its head popping out and eyes closed as if smiling.

my friend Coral

Coral is a young goliath grouper, resident to a reef in the Florida Keys.

There were once countless groupers here, of all different species. They’ve been hunted nearly to extinction.

Like the few living coral formations on her reef, she survives here in spite of us.

Perched on a log in the wetland a great blue Heron looks over the water.

A man sits quietly in the filtered light of a veranda, cradling a cat in his arms—an image rendered with restraint and tenderness in this large-scale watercolor by Lars Lerin. At Home exemplifies Lerin’s ability to draw intimacy from stillness. His layered washes and softened contours evoke not only the warmth of light on a wooden interior, but the deeper, emotional texture of solitude shared. One of Sweden’s most esteemed contemporary artists, Lerin is widely celebrated for his mastery of watercolor and his meditative, often autobiographical depictions of Northern domesticity and landscape. A prolific author and television figure, his reputation is grounded in the quiet integrity of works like this—where silence, affection, and time itself seem to settle visibly onto paper.

And now for something completely different.. Lars Lerin, Swedish, b. 1954 At Home, 2011 Watercolor on paper 100 × 150 cm
