Welcome to my gallery! I´m a Finno-Swedish girl (mothertongue: Swedish, native country: Finland) born in 1986. I´ve drawn since I could hold a pen and I mostly draw horses, because I like their beauty, elegance and power. Drawing is my way of relaxing and getting an outlet for my creativity. Many things inspire me - nature, space, different pictures and paintings, dreams, films, music... I listen to many kinds of music, but I think I´ve produced most of these drawings and paintings with Nightwish in my headphones. Excellent music for creating! Drawing is my hobby and I don´t want to get professional - that would ruin the joy of it. At the moment I´m busy studying agriculture and haven´t uploaded any new Elfwood-material in a long time because of lack of time. However I leave these pictures for you to (hopefully) enjoy. I read ALL comments (big THANKS to you who comment/ have commented!) but I only ansver them if they contain direct questions. I still appreciate constructive criticism and would like to know what you think about my pictures. That´s all. Thank you!
P.S: I have a gallery at Stars Portraits also, check it out! You can find the link under my photo.

Guestbook for Holmstrom
| Date | Name | Comment | | | 26 Oct 2007 | HorseGirl | Loading...i really like the unicorn with the three colored horn!!! But the other unicorns do not have it that way??? Karin Holmström replies: "Thanks! No, I only made that particular unicorn´s horn tricolored. Yes, it looks cool, but somehow I feel that it messes up the overall impression of a white, pure animal, and therefore choose to make the horn white on the other unicorns." | |
