Village Christmas by Satu Vartiainen

The pleasure has been ours Satu. I hope you will continue to dazzle us with your superb works of art throughout 2017. Have a splendid Christmas, and peace and health for the New Year. This is a lovely traditional image of a community at Christmas time.

Thank you Fiona, you are so kind X

Merry Christmas to you Satu and thank you for all your support throughout the year. This is a lovely pen and wash painting. The sort of loose pen work which I like. Also, I detect a slight oneline technique going on here, the oneliner method has influenced your drawing skills I think. Mine as well ! x

Thank you Louise for your kind wishes. You are right, this is more or less an oneliner and it's the only way that I can draw at all. I like the careless outcome and it liberates the soul(!) x
