Connection to earth ( maa in Finnish ) is important to me.
Unevitably that can be seen in my works, too.

And there is a clear connection between my photos and paintings.
For me the dearest place on earth is - as you may already know - our summer place in Rauma archipelago.
And, yes, there is a connection between that place and all these images:)

I can´t wait to get there , there , there again..
We got some snow: it is not spring yet, so I´ll have to wait some more time:(

This week´s drawing challenge is about Connections.
Our host is Kristen, see her vivid and colourful blog Sunny Spot for more:)
Lovely connections. I love top be connected to the Earth as well. I love the watercolours of the stones and lichen and the beautiful colourations you've found. I just thought that somewhere I have a book describing a dying process using lichen. Wouldn't that be fun to try it out? I must find the book. Hope you have a lovely weekend. :)
VastaaPoistaLet me know if you´ll find the book, that sounds so interesting! Leena

Dear Leena,
VastaaPoistayou have wonderful, lovely connections... to maa... Mother Earth in your paintings and photos, love it, deeply.

Leena, your maa connection is so strong it pulls and connects all the way across the sea. Your photos of Rauma have always intrigued me. And now you introduce me to Color Dolor. Thank you! Here's to a marvellous week. xo Carole
VastaaPoistai love your photos
VastaaPoistathe glimpses of something more, yet complete and connected to the whole

Thank you ladies for comments! I do feel the connection between us and I appreciate that very much, xo Leena
VastaaPoistaThese are beautiful Leena! especially Earth 2 Wow!! what a knock out watercolor :)
VastaaPoistaI've always seen landscapes in the rocks/earth and I love how you bring that out in this post!
Really well done and thank you so much for sharing and playing along :)

I love your paintings and photo's! I visited finland twice, during summer and in winter and it was wonderful both times. I love snow. And I imagine why you love earth…. it is so beautiful over there….
VastaaPoistaThere is also a very obvious connection to a place in your heart. Lichens, earth, water, birds. . . so simple and yet so powerful.
VastaaPoistaearth 2 is just so stunning, i feel there is indeed a huge connection between your images and your paintings, and in this picture i sense they are one. n♥
