I accidently bought one of these expensive brushes from London years a go. I did not realize the price then. Quality was so superb that now I own several. This old brush is still in use after years of hard use.

I got an inspiration for this White wagtail painting during our last bird painter’s weekend in Hanko. There were flat sandy beach that was covered with few millimeters of seawater. Storm had thrown pieces of algae to the shore and light was gleaming trough them. Sun was behind foggy clouds. Water got its colors from clouds and only color were the algae and their reflections. I decided already then that this scene has to be painted. I choose young wagtail to be bird of the painting.

”On Birds wings” exhibition opens 27.8. in Gallery Karaija.

I visited this very interresting art exhibition in Tampere Sara Hilden art museum. Ron Mueck makes hyperrealistic human figures. Some are small and some huge.

Exhibition is open between 2.6.–16.10.2016.
