Now it is time for a short up date. I'm now almost 1 month in Ii. Time is going fast. Next month it is even going faster.

The first weeks I have walked often along II river. I was searching for inspiration. Inspiration needed for the exhibtion that is still coming up. A lot of the photo's you can see on this blog.

I'm busy with some drawings and paintings for my exhibition. My inspiration is Ii river. Not in the realistic way, but in the shapes I find on and next to the river. Which shapes belong to this river. And then I have to deal with the question, how to paint. The surrounding is so different that I also have to change my paintings.

Today I have visit the exhibition space. The ideas are more clear now. This also means that I have to work hard next two weeks to get everything ready.

Next week I start with lessons at school. Hopefully the discussions will be good. We also start a project with the community. Via question I want to know what are important elements in Finnish landscape. After the opening of the exhibition I will work out these ideas to a final painting 'Finnish Landscape'.
