Leena, enjoy the sea! I'll be thinking of you!! The woodcut image 'observer' is very strong. I love it to bits. Did you make an edition of this image? I'm intrigued by using nail polish as a medium. It must be a smelly operation; hope you don't breathe in the fumes too much. Well I'll light a candle in celebration of the festivities of midsummer. And watch one of my favorite d.v.d.s 'A Midsummer Night's' Dream. *smiles* Norma
VastaaPoistaoooh Leena what a fabulous selection of images. I love little Leena both photo and your painting.
VastaaPoistaAs you know your woodcuts are some of my favourites of your work and this particular one is really gorgeous the colour and texture is amazing.
I can see you in the mirror isnt our brain amazing how it fills in the detail?
A lovely post Leena really interesting!
Helen :)
dear Leena, i smiled at that first picture, you aged 7 with binocular, you were born an observer, a quality that awoke the artist in you.
VastaaPoistathe selfportrait on piece of canvas, so very beautiful, your hands working with and caressing the paint,a wonderful way to express oneself.
enjoy your seaside time, xx
Dear Leena,
VastaaPoistaI've found the same expression in the first pic of you as an 7 years old girl and in the red white pic beside at your profil, makes me smiling.
I love your woodcuts and paintings. They are both very archaic and soft, gentle.
Happy Juhannus!
Love
Ariane.

Leena- ihania kuvia-olet taitava!
VastaaPoistaDearest Leena,
VastaaPoista'Nightless nights'. Pure poetry in two words. So often you make me think of Edith, who I love. No wonder, with all that talent.

i hope you have had a most magical solstice, or nightless night. beautiful imagery there.
VastaaPoistahope that weather stayed dry?!
mhm... the observer.
simply in each, it seems, the smokey mirror making for an interesting colour palette too.

Your wood cuts are so haunting to me -I love them...and the night less night by the sea sounds like a dream! one that I would love to partake in someday.!
VastaaPoistaI am curious about your mirror image too and how nice it relates to the child painting and wood cut :)
I'm in love with the self portrait as a child. The expression again is very similar to the wood cut, just as similar as your childhood and profile photos! Funny how the face expressions relate!
