Norhern light gives me lots of possibilities to take shadow photos-
and that´s what I´ve done both in winter and summer.
The wood cut below looked at first only as a stain
but after a while I begun to see it as a shadow image and did not want to change it anymore.
Shadow
is the theme of this week´s drawing challenge.

Ps.
Shadow in the history of art brings to my mind the surrealists .
They often tend to show long mysterious shadows in theis works.

The most famous Finnish surrealist is Otto Mäkilä
( I have written earlier about him in my blog, see here.)

Leena your woodcut print image is awesome. It is important to know when not to touch an art piece and I'm glad you knew here when the image was complete. Oh it is so wonderful. I am in love with this work. *smiles* Norma

Dear Leena,
VastaaPoistaI've come in touch with a beautiful face in the dark. It was very intime and close to mine.
I did'nt know that you had in Finland Surrealists too... Exciting!
Love your photos. Even they are surreal!
Thank you very much.
Love
Ariane.

VastaaPoistaYour photos are great too I love the Surrealist and remember this painting from my Art School days I think Im off to reacquaint myself with Finnish Surrealism.
Enjoy the weekend

Leena, your woodcut image is perfect......so glad you left it as is! Are you going to do more with this theme? They would make quite a magnificent series!
VastaaPoistabeautiful shadow variations.
VastaaPoistaand magical woodcut. love the shades of colours.
I like your photo shadows and your painting. You are very talanted Leena.
VastaaPoistaThank you for introdusing Otto Mäkilä. Never heard of him before and I always find it exciting to find out things about other countries : )
looking at all those shadows all so different, all those interpretations...there is a resemblance between that snow shadow and your woodcut, i like all the different nuances in that work, the more you look the more interesting it becomes, beautiful! x
VastaaPoistayour shadow pictures are very interesting - very different light - beautiful! and I like your woodcut very much. in spite of strong contrasts the work is very harmonious.
VastaaPoistayour wood cut feels intriguing. the unfinished feel adds to its effect. i think i may favour unfinished, since it reflects upon life as it is.
VastaaPoistan♥
I love the depth of that wood cut! while I often see shadows as flat for some reason...your photos feel very familiar to me- like that could be me behind the camera seeing myself in the landscape...the sun on my back :)
VastaaPoistathere's a great depth to your wood cut. dark and curious.
VastaaPoistaHi girls! I am happy for your comments, thoughts and ideas, thank you so much:)
