Orthodox Church in Summassaari, Saarijärvi, Finland

This small, self-built (!) Orthodox Church is situated in Saarijärvi, Central Finland. I was joining its opening ceremony in summer 2011. All of its constructions were made in an excellent way! It follows the traditional features of Carelian churchs.

I started this work with a pencil and continue with colour pencils. Only light brown (of the timber itself) and light blue has been used for the decoration of this small temple. In opposite, a wide variety of beautiful flowers are surrounding it.

Final version of this work will be published in this blog soon.
