So, this was made for one of the tasks of the challenge. We had to draw (or write) about an event in the character’s life, that had an influence on their character\life and made them who they are. So, the one of events like that in Lars’s life was death of his mother. They were close and she taught him a lot about nature, plants, animals, and a lot other things. When Lars was six years old, his mother became very ill and couldn’t leave the house for a long time. Then her health dropped even more, so she couldn’t even get out of the bed. Doctors didn’t know what’s going on with her, though they tried everything that might’ve help... To no avail. She stayed in bed and her husband and son kept her company. Sometimes she asked Lars to bring her something from outside - a plant, a flower, a bug, a twig, something interesting and beautiful that he can find. Two years passed. On the midsommer, she asked Lars to bring her a dandelion wreath... I’ve read that red houses are common in Sweden, not sure if that’s correct. As I am not sure of the choice in the colour of the ambulance. I found it odd that a lot of ambulances have this yellow colour... But maybe that’s just how it is and yellow is a colour of sickness... (it’s funny, cuz, lately I’ve been drawn to it and I find it soothing.)
