PINES BEHIND THE ORTHODOX CHURCH OF SUOLAHTI, FINLAND


It seems that the painting of Suolahti Church will be finished soon. I started it already in 2015 but found so many things to correct that I repaint several parts of it during the years gone. Now there is only one detail I shall correct and then I must say: "Now it is so good as it can be when painted by me..".


P.S. No digital photo is like the original. The photo was taken in artificial light and corrected by PICASA. The colours are, therefore, slightly changed.

AN OLD DRAWING, "TUNED" BY FREE PICASA PHOTO PROGRAM




An old drawing from the year 1975 shows a view from my student-time home in Viikki, Helsinki.

The original drawing has turned brownish and the contrasts relatively pale. I opened my PICASA program and corrected both of the faults. Framing was also done by PICASA "museomatta" correction.

So - here it is, in its new look.  I hope that you like this early spring view of a forest - in the middle of the city Helsinki!
