Phases of Water and Me

WATER VESI

SNOW&ice LUMI&jää

The theme of this week end´s DC ( drawing challenge ) is a tricky and yet fascinating one for me: 

Metamorphosis

Somehow I begun to think about water and its different forms. During the seasons of the year I am able to see and feel them all. I love to see the whiteness of snow in different shades as well as the grey, blue, green and even pink color the sea gets during the short but bright and wonderful summer. 

I am also thinking of the vital importance of clean water and the sea and ocean areas. See this:( and this:)

Well, after a while I found myself playing with the metamorphosis of me myself:) There are some photos and self portraits, which show that I feel I am in the process of metamorphosis all the time!

(Another Transformation:  Frida )

My DC is - once again - without any drawings nor is my interpret quite according to the title..

Lovely Ariane  is our host this week; see her beautiful blog Rose for more of the theme and participants. The 'drawings' are shown on the blogs of the participants

and the host links to them all

July was exceptionally warm in Finland.
I was happy to be able to spend most of the time by the sea at Rauma.
I also visited Turku and surroundings.

I have enjoyed the sunny and warm weather by the sea with the nearest and dearest.

We also visited Rauma lace week and picked one cosy and charming event filled with music and poems.

Upside down

Patrice choosed a fascinating theme for this week´s DC ( drawing challenge ): Upside down.

Art is often about things that upset, are twisted  - about things that are upside down.

At first Georg Baselitz came to my mind with his bold and strong paintings.

Then I remembered a work called State of Readiness by a sculptor Heli Ryhänen. She is a wonderful artist and  great teacher:)

I have been taking photos of reflections which turn the view upside down.
And I found my "self portrait" ( oil on  metal plate, 2013 ) lying on a shelf - upside down:)

Summer in the City

It has been exceptionally hot lately. Unfortunately we could not go to the seaside- 

Instead  I had a wonderful day in town (Tampere) with our son and grandson. 

And a lake is ok when sea is not available:)
