The drawing, presenting the old church of Petäjävesi, is now finished.
This UNESCO Culture Heritage object has many beutiful features. Old timber, painted details, peaceful interieur...worth to visit!
Colours? Not this time, just B&W.
I will thank the Finnish master of living lines, late Henrik Tikkanen. I have adopted the idea of birds from him.
This drawing will be one of the five pictures which I will present in an art exhibition by KOPRU in Wanha Woimala (an old power plant by Vaajakoski rapids in Central Finland). 2006 is an anniversary year for KOPRU: this art society has grounded 30 years ago.

Hi Juha, I like the church and on your drawing the church gets a special a little bit magic character. I'm looking forward to see some pictures from Auguste and her Grandfather.
Greetings Jeroschka
Hello Jeroschka,
and thank you for your comment!
The old church of Petäjävesi is definitely one of the oldest church, made of timber, which has resisted fires in Finland. It is not especially big but the atmosphere inside wakes up several kind of feelings, indeed.
- I have a view of railway station where the travellers are staying beside an old steam engine. I have been interested of old trains and locomotives in my younger years and I'll try to find some photos of German/Polish steam engineers (as well as railway stations)for a draft of the picture. It can be seen in my blog whenever it is ready.
Greetings,
Juha!
