Late spring on the shore of Ala-Kintaus Lake.

This is an example of those rapid drawings which I preferred to do some ten years ago. When travelling, one has not too much time to prepare his/her piece of art (if not taking a photo and continue afterwards with time).

The horizon is really over there: it is the opposite shore on the left side of the drawing. The shoreline of the cape and vegetation on the lake are NOT horizontally installed; they actually followed the reality. They have, therefore, some odd, confusing effect - but I still let them be like they are. Nature not always follows our orders....

Technique was simple: just drawing with calligraphy felt-tip pens and color pencils. I tried to express some feelings of Finnish spring (1.5.2006) when there were no leaves yet, water was icy and everything was waiting warmer days of early summer.
