Thank you all so very much. I really enjoyed drawing this. Pen and wash is my favourite technique. Satu, no offense and thanks for the good wishes in French, but I live in the Flemish spoken part of Belgium (northern part and the coast). Of course, we speak French (if we have to!!!), but normally it is Flemish (related to Dutch).

Sorry Mia, I’ll have to study Flemish for next year then!

Posted by Satu Vartiainen on Mon 31 Dec 14:40:55

Is that a promise? I will remember that, Satu (lol).

One of the few phrases I know Mia, my brother married a Flemish girl and has lived in Belgium over 45 years now. Near the Dutch border, a place called Kinrooi. X

Well, well, Fiona. Isn't it a small world. All the best and till 'next' year :)

This is again an Ikebana composition using a Stabilo Point 88 watersoluble pen on creamy cartridge paper. Size A4. Also, I wish everybody on POL, artists and staff, a very happy and creative year 2019. All the best :) Mia
