Muusa

This one is slightly older. Made with coal. It´s different from my usual style of accurate drawing but instead made entirely with the contrast of light and shadow. The drawing is quite big ad should be viewed from afar.

Rico

One of my earlier works. The paintings is owned by my parents and the model for this was their first, most beloved dobermann. Copyright owned by me.

Ghia

Made with black color pencil. This was ordered as a present to a dobermann breeder. Made from a photograph of one of her beloved dobermann bitches. Copyright owned by me.

Beagle

This picture of a beagle was made from a photograph to a customer. Made with coal. Copyrights owned by me.

Laku

This is a pencil work I made from a photograph. A dog training group ordered it as a present for their leader. Copyrights owned by me. This is a photograph of the painting and therefore the paper looks very blue.

Very first blog

Welcome to my blog! If you´re here by accident or out of pure interest, give me a moment to convince you to keep on reading and maybe even come back every once in a while! :)

I am a young self taught artist from Finland where I own a small pet store in a small town.  My grandmother loves to paint and she has set up a small painting studio in her own attic. Ever since i was little (old enough to hold a pencil) I have been encouraged and inspired by her to draw and paint.

My passion for art didn´t fade over the years of growing up and I painted and drew most of my teenage. On few occasions I was asked by family, friends and the people who knew me, to make a drawing for them from the subject of their choosing. Usually this was pets and children.

My other passion is animals which in turn spurred me to start my own store when i got the opportunity. Still getting asked to do portraits, i decided to offer that to a wider range of customers, not just my family and friends. Now I keep a selection of paintings and drawings in the store for people to see.

In this blog I will post regularly my art and i´m very open to suggestions and even a little critique. :)
I make portraits in the base of photographs given/sent to me.

Enjoy!
