Winter finally arrived. Frost sharply biting nose and cheeks, colouring them red. After snow the sun came. So orange, shining still so low. The sky so blue.
The snow making a new melody and rhythm. Balcony windows frozen, today I drew a small window to the frozen garden.
A small book published last year with poems by Anna-Mari Kaskinen and my illustrations.
Moonshines, starry nights!

Heippa! Vuoden lopulla julkaistiin Anna-Mari Kaskisen runokirja kuvituksillani, Lohdutuksen polulla.
Kuutamoita ja tähtösiä!
Sunsets, Le Havre, early mornings, print making with cardboard, winter birds on window sills, streets to walk endlessly, Bert Jansch.
On cold sunny evenings that lake monster wakes up. It is changing its form now, like the leaves in trees fly away. To winter fur. It is long like a dragon, such a foreign thought up here in the North. Surrounding the lake, as long as the reflection lasts, drawing its lines. Enjoying the sight, before it will all be covered up in a snow and ice blanket. Still a few rowing boats in the middle or on its edges. Is the lake monster sleeping after all, not caring of the rowers.
Last year, two days ago, the first snow landed.
How was your week?
Kind whispers, warm thoughts to your new week!
