Two Temples - two different milleniums!





Two countries, two completely different eras and two techniques: 

LEFT is an acrylic painting from Karpathos Island, Greece. 

RIGHT you can see an oil painting of a small orthodox temple, "tsasouna", from Suolahti, Central Finland, built following the guidelines of traditional Carelian orthodox temples.

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.
