Secret door
"Secret door"
Oil on canvas, 2011
I tought that i get serious for a change and took a bit bigger canvas.
Plan A was to scram as much detail in the foliage as possible. I think I got what I wanted.
Plan B was to paint the blossoming apple tree right next to this place, but I do that tomorrow since this took me the whole day.

Pigtails
"Pigtails"Oil on linen canvas, 61 x 46 cm

Today I just had to paint something, anything, on any surface.
So I demolished the painting I started earlier by just painting on top of that.
Usually I dont re-use canvases, but the paint was still wet and it worked out allright tehnically.
I am also looking foward of tomorrow´s painting trip with Mauri and Arto.

Me and my family shared a great adventure with Arto´s family.
We went to the beautiful Nuuksio National Park.
Our kids just loved all the playing and climbing possibilities
that the place has to offer. While our beloved wifes grilled the food,
me and Arto did the plein air painting.
By the way, now I have officially painted 500 paintings. Whooe!

Mea painting some brilliant color bars.I did this portrait sketch of my son, but I can not take the all of the credit because I got a lot of help from my lovely children!
Nooa painted his right ear and some of the background.
Mea made those beautiful color bars in the middle part of the painting.
She just loved the new brushes I bought from London.

Tugboats
"Tugboats"38 x 60, Oil on linen canvas

I walk past these boats almost every day and there is something really apealing in their rugged looks, I guess they are silently being very proud.
Just to mention that I had also the pleasure of meeting the crew last summer when i was doing plein air painting about the "Protector".
