Hoi!
It's been ages since I last posted. That is because I've been superbusy with work and seeing friends, and surprise surprise I haven't spent much of my nights at the computer:--) That should be crystal clear, I mean, look at the weather!!! Amazing..
Though it's summer and holidays, we as IB students have got a research essay to work on, which I actually should be doing as I write this.
Okay so the big news is that I'm leaving to Sri Lanka, my second home, in 23 days!! I've been talking to some of the closest friends I can't wait to meet, and they unfortunately or fortunately I don't know, add into my previously existing ENTHUSIASM. I am SUPER excited!!! In the middle of all this excitement, I've been doing some painting...:)
One thing about me and my works; I never like to plan too much. I just go for it, get my starting point from somewhere (a picture in this case), but I never plan it out with a pencil etc. Even if it sounds weird, I like the process to be there, even if it cannot be seen. When painting with paints (usually acrylic for me), the previous paint layer can be covered, but it's still there. This fascinates me. I'll show you an example (I should have started taking photos from the very beginning..sorry.)
Okay so I am very very impatient with my paintings, and even this was made to the third step from these photos on the first night, another night I just made some small adjustments..
That's also probably the truth behind me not drawing with a pencil too much... requires a loot of patience..:(
I give my respect to at least one friend I know that really takes time to make his drawings perfect no matter how long it takes!
BUT MORE EXCITING THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!
The MidSummer confrerence is starting next week!! The "Juhannuskonffa" :) If you're going, what do you wait from it? I know what I do... I shall get to that once I've shortly explained what this awesome summer thingy is ! For those who don't know, it's held in Keuruu (<33), in Iso Kirja. It starts on the 20th of June, and lasts from that Wednesday till Sunday. It's full of awesome services for all ages, good food (the pizza and pancakes are a must). Now everybody google where it is because I'm not sure what the address is, and I shall see you there.

So what do I wait from it?
- Walking across the field and spotting friends I haven't seen in a long time
- Going for pizza with a bunch of people
- Going around the booths and getting stuck talking to people
- Sit around and be lazy on the field
- Sense and enjoy the atmosphere, simply amazing
- Make new friends!
The smell of sausages and pizza in a slightly cold summer night, when it doesn't get dark at all is just remarkable.
I'll see you there, peace <3
