You may recall my post about the familiar yard in the old town of Wyborg?
After finishing this drawing I went to my framing company in Jyväskylä city (Flyktman Ltd., I strongly recommend it!). My wife prefers relatively strong-colored passepartout, and she was right!
I think that the value of this work is hidden in its details.
As you know, Finland has lost this ancient Hansa town to "CCCP" after WW II. Very many specialists in Finland think, however, that this event actually saved the old, fine buildings of Wyborg center - no "carton box architecture" like big hypermarkets but the old houses are still there! Not in the best conditions, maybe, but some of them are fixed up in recent years (The Library by Alvar Aalto is the best example).
My wife said: "There is a feeling in this drawing", and she is (again) right. I think that I have put something in the details of this, otherwise relatively humble, drawing.
