Merry Christmas, my wife!


I have worked hard during the last autumn period of our art school in Säynätsalo, Finland, to finish my Christmas present to my wife. Here is the final outcome, presented by her - as a shy person, she would like to show only her hands, not her face. Our friends say that certain similarity between her portrait in this painting (based on an B&W photo from Switzerland,1966) and her current status exists, however. This work was hang on the wall of our corridor, without any frames. I think that it is good enough without them.
