Ghostly...I can't stop looking at it. Brilliantly spooky.

A brilliant portrayal of these two girls Satu. Wonderful textures. Glad you are better, must have been very painful.

Hi Satu I was wondering where you were but now I know, I'm glad your recovering now I love this one , I thought you meant trapped in a ghostly way and my ears pricked as I'm very interested in that sort of thing. Welcome back and lovely work.

I can imagine how painful that was Satu. Glad it's behind you. Yes, this is quite ghost- like but I like the colours most of all. You've made something special here.

Good to see back on top Gorman, because this painting is just magical.

A painting that encapsulates a lot of mood and ambience. A very accomplished piece, Satu! I'm sorry to hear of your injury and wish you a full and speedy recovery. Commenting on POL should be the last thing on your mind right now!

I like the idea of bringing these girls back to "life" in a painting. Beautifully depicted. Good to see you're well on the mend.

Sisters Ellen and Edith in Helsinki around 1905. I painted this from a black&white photo taken by Eric Sundtröm with the permission of Helsinki City Museum. I'm sorry that I haven't commented a lot lately. I managed to torn a ligament of my right shoulder and it has been quite painful. Fortunately I'm on the mend and can paint again!! Hurray!
