Arty family

art In my family there seem to be some that carries "artsy" genes. Kristofer Leirdal is maybe the best known of these people. During WWII he spent some time with his brother on the family farm, and among else he created a lot of figures in plaster. They were mainly models for bigger statues, some of which he did in stone later on. This is a picture of a window on the farm where some of his plaster figures is put on display.
