Weather - the endless issue of conversations and whining about.

Seasons in Finland:

short and bright and green summer,

autumn with orange, yellow and brown, fading towards the darkness of November

long, dark and cold winter with its icy blue, white and grey shades,

chilly, windy, lime green spring with amazing brightness..

I do love the variety of the seasons.
And they all have their own character and beauty. 

As a visual person, I see the seasons as colors, each in very different shades.

Right now I am finishing  four paintings which, I hope, will tell something about
how I see and sense the seasons of the year.

I am trying to make a serie of paintings and  that is why I also try to find the connection in between them
There should be some connection in colors, rhythm or composition in addition the obvious one of the theme itself. I am not quite there yet but I am working on it..

The pictures above are details of each painting, partly in process yet.
With these photos I find it easy and fun  to play with the lines and make rhytmn and connection with the images in that sense.

The theme of the drawing challenge this week is CONNECTION. 

Our host is dear Ariane, see the participants via her lovely blog Die Rose.

Ps. I´ll be visiting Stocholm and the dancing daughter  this weekend, so forgive me not to visit your blogs and comment until Monday, Have a nice weekend:)

Vuodenajat väreinä ja tunnelmina  kuulostaa maalausten aiheena paitsi kuluneelta niin myös helpolta. 

Yhteys teosten välillä, sarjallisuuden löytyminen on kuitenkin olllut tosi vaikeaa. 

Vaiheessa olevien maalausten yksityiskohdat löysivät valokuvissa hauskat linajat ja rytmin. 

Yhteys, connection, on tämän viikon teemana kuvahaasteessa.

Viikonloppuna suuntaan Tukholmaan tyttären luo, hauskaa viikonloppua kaikille!

Järjestelyä

 

 

It is a foggy day but I know the spring is coming  some day. 

I have done some spring cleaning like a good homekeeper does at this time of a year.

But mostly I have been organizing my thoughts.

---

Kevätsiivousvimmassani järjestelen kaappien lisäksi ajatuksia.

Tervetuloa kevät!

Taivaallista lammaspataa

 

 

 

 

Kirkkaana sunnuntaina haaveilen ja maalailen keväästä, 

teen värikästä ruokaa ja kerään poikaset maailmalta pöydän ääreen.

 ...

On a bright Sunday I dream and paint about spring, 

cook colorful food and have family round the table.

Jos metsään haluat mennä nyt..

Vimma

Kevätvimman vallassa siivosin työhuoneella.
Löytyi kauan sitten tehty Afrikka aiheinen naamiotyö.
Vimma jatkui maalatessa: hanskoistakin sen huomaa.
Musta pahvi palettina ja mulle tosi oudot värit.
Ah, kevään sakea voima!

Organizing the studio with some spring wildness.
I found a study of an African mask I have made long ago and forgotten.
I started to paint with the same fierce I had been cleaning.
Some of that can be seen in the gloves and the odd black palette.
