I like this Satu. I think the outlines are enough.

A jug of cider?!!! cheers, it works well.

Really eye catching. Super colours and really strong design. (P.S. Satu - this image seems to have loaded three time - just wondered if you could delete two as it takes up two extra spaces on the first few pages. There seems to be a problem as there have been a lot of double and triple postings since the new site was launched, which is probably a loading problem. Perhaps we should let POL know?)

Great design Satu and wonderful choice of colours, I recognised it as yours as soon as I saw it!

Thank you Paul, Avril, Thea and Christine for your kind comments, very much appreciated! Yes Thea, I have deleted the two extras. There seemed to be trouble with the loading and I thought it didn't go trough at all. Sorry about that!

You are not the only one this has happened to - I have noticed about 20 or 30 double or triple loadings since the new site started. It must be a technical hitch. Thanks for deleting as this does allow two more people's paintings to appear on the first few pages.

I really like this, Satu. Beautiful subtle background colours and strong drawing of the jug and apple! It is a typical "Satu"-painting, well done!

Thank you Mia for your kind comment, much appreciated.

I like it and the apple and jug drawing seem just right.

Love the palette and your linear paintings!

It's more than OK. Satu! It works beautifully - so simple, yet so effectively eyecstching. It's fab! Apologies for the late comment. I've been away and am now just catching up.

Thank you William and Seok ! I guessed Seok that you have been away, welcome back!

Hi Satu, I am mulling over the idea of a painting which will end up looking like a collaboration of different artists contributing to a single painting. It is also an exercise in negative painting, so the bits I don’t paint are more important than the parts I do. (I know it sounds like a mess!). I want to include styles that are very different from anything I’d paint and that leads me to people like yourself who’s style is very individual and recognisable. I don’t want to copy any of your paintings, but I would like to paint a small section of my painting in a style reminiscent of yours. Is that OK with you? Kind regards.

Hi Paul, sorry to reply so late but I've been away. Yes, of course you can use my style and it will be so interesting to see your finished painting. Kind regards. Satu

Acrylic on canvas 30cm x 30cm. This was going to be something else but I mislaid the masking tape and got a bit stuck. Instead of covering the whole thing with fresh gesso I drew the outlines of the jug and the apple and it seems to work out OK.
