"A Day in Wyborg" and tiny, green tomatoes!


Now is the color pen work "A Day in Wyborg" finished!

It shows a view of a city yard on the eldest area of Wyborg, Russia (actually the 2nd biggest Finnish city before WW 2).  There was no life (except the birch, growing on the wall of the left-side building) to be seen, so I decided to add a sitting girl and the front of a car (Soviet make, called LADA in western countries).

This peaceful scene will be multiplied very soon in the form of postcards.

The small, green tomatoes are from our own harvest. For some reason, very many of my friends have also got greenish ones - because the very odd summer, I think. I try to ripen them in our kitchen but they tend, in opposite, to rip before they turn to red! Very odd... X Files?
