Fragments

Yksityiskohtia muste- ja akryyliväriharjoituksista paperille ja kankaalle. "Paletti" keskellä:)

Fragments of  acrylics/ink exercises on paper and canvas. "The palette" is in the middle:)

Kirkas, hämärä, kirkas

 marrastunnelmissa öljyvärein...

Hernesaari sunnuntaiaamuna

Huuto -teoksessa (!) Didrichsenin taidemuseossa hienossa Munch -näyttelyssä

Kuusisaari

... ja 15.-16.11. Helsingissä

näyttelyitä kierrellen ja hienosta aamuvalosta nauttien.

Didrichsenin Munch -näyttelyn lisäksi viikonlopun mieleenpainuvinta antia oli Korjaamolla,

 kiva tunnelma ja mainio näyttely:

Hanna Kanto Unknown land.

Ja erityinen ilonaihe on, että yksi työni pääsi hyvään kotiin Pohjoisrannassa:)

Joe Bonamassa, Different Shades of Blue

November moods with oils during the week.

 Visiting Helsinki art galleries last week end, see the highlights via the links above.

Life on Mars?

Week 2 in the fascinating world of painting tempera.
These are some details of  my "Stardust" paintings
And in the middle there are the lids of my paint jars:)

Viikon värit

 Colors of the week - learning tempera painting.. can not avoid the colors from outdoors

Siena, Umbra, Okra & Co

Addicted to nets - as an expression of a fragile connection between people, nature and mind.
At the monent I am also fascinated about the earthy colors.

Olen verkon ja pitsin lumoissa.
Ajattelen ihmisten välistä yhteyttä, ajattelen ihmisen ja luonnon yhteyttä, ajattelen mielen ja ajatusten haurasta, helposti murenevaa rakennetta.
Ja maavärit, ihanaa sekoittaa itse pigmenteistä ja mediumista,  mmm...

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:)

Viivapiirroksia

 

 

"viivoina" jään hakkaamat kaislat huhtikuisella Raumanmerellä sekä viime aikoina työstämiäni pellavakuituja.

There is some similarity between the reeds  and linen fiber with which I have been working lately

W A T E R

water 

is the theme of this week´s DC. Our host is Patrice, see her fabulous blog Patrice A. for more.

These images tell about early spring and melting ice on a lake and tiny river in a small town of  Kankaanpää where I study at the moment.

- The turquoise one in the middle is about wet linen fiber on a balloon:)

 My love and connection with nature can be seen in my art work. 

The fragility of the balance in nature and worry and anxiety about the condition of the water system on earth should be seen in my works more clearly.

Thank you, Patrice, for the important and wonderful theme.

Paper-Fiber-Fragility

 

earlier about nets of different kinds in this blog f.ex. here  here here  here here

the oldest fishing net:Antrea net

 ..and I´ve always liked making nets with crocheting and so is here my student friend  Liisa:)

Raven Hair

Those drying, hanging linen bunches remind me of wet hair

I have been staining linen fiber into black color to make paper blend of it later on.

I had a witchy feeling standing  in front of the stove with big pink gloves on, stirring the black raven hair mixture in a huge kettel:=)

 

A while ago I painted a "hair-dye-self-portrait"

( acrylic on paper, 50 x 60cm )
There is a witchy feeling there, too, don`t you think;)

Eagles, Witchy Woman

Thank you, Nadine, for the DC theme of this week

DRAWING CHALLENGE NEW THEME |

in general, it doesn't care for a crop, semi or long mode. truth be told, it doesn't always do what we want it to do. when we've got it, we flaunt it. when we're without, we're generally sad. we cut it off rigourously however, in places where we really do not want it. let's hear it, for...
