fishy or functional?

Until quite recently I've been very certain of one thing: I don't ever want to own a house again. THEN I stumbled into this herring shaped accomodation and realised I might have to change my mind... One problem though, and it always haunts me - I may be a mermaid... but I'm allergic to fish!

the swan madonna

"Joutsenmadonna" by [Eemu Myntti]

... our own Finnish Mona Lisa accompanied by several Myntti-paintings at Tikanoja Art Museum in Vasa, until 4.11 2011. Well worth visiting!

Becca likes to paint

Becca likes to paint, there's no doubt about that. I like to watch while she's doing it, because of her limitless enthusiasm, vivid imagination and lack of fear when it comes to exploring new material and media.

When Becca paints the process of painting is lively accompanied by discussion. Monlogue or dialogue is of less importance, but she likes feedback and quickly grasps new ideas provided by her companions. Despite this, she will never compromise with her own artistic intentions.

I'm blessed. Truly blessed. I get to be around these brilliant creative youngsters everyday. Becca is one of them.

Here are three of her very fresh and recent (from today, in fact!) acryl paintings for all of us to enjoy!

mermaid or landlubber?

Fate brought me out to sea today, with [m/aux ALEXANDRA] , knowing I'd much rather spend time IN water than ON water...

... is it possible for a lady of a lake to be a landlubber?

Even Mr D claims he'd prefer a ship with at least two dancefloors and three restaurants, but I'm not sure: he's looking awfully satisfied with the situation...

The weather is perfect and so we set sail...

... and the lakemaid of a tiny little lake in northern ostrobothnia is fully pleased with the fact she never really had to leave the inner archipelago of Eastern Uusimaa, Finland, to sail the seven seas...

favourite shapes in new media

Well, anyone who really knows me also knows I like waterdrops and butterflies... While waiting to attend a fado concert with brilliant Anita de Coteau and Juha Venäläinen at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art I ran into these... To find out more please visite [LINK].

Kingfisher-metallic-mode-postcard found among old letters, cards, photos and treasures beyond measures... Funny how the same situation can appear so different depending on the angle from where You look. This card is much more dull, harsch and dark if You approach it from the opposite direction, even under the same light conditions.

Maybe it's the same with life?
