I've been drawing again ...and of course of my  favourite movies. When I choose a scene to draw, it usually has to be the scene that I love, the one that makes me cry or laugh, the one we quote among friends amd the one a now by heart...The ones of you, who love movies, know what I mean...

My favourite of all times:
Wonderfull  Sean Astin as
Samwais Gamgee
in  brilliant Peter Jackson's

The Lord of the Rings
"...That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for. ..."   (Two towers)

-And this was a hard one for me to draw, because Sam IS my favourite charcter of them all... Hope u like it... This is dedicated to Hattie ♥, who inspired me to start with it finally...


Talented Russell Crowe
in Ridley Scott's  marvellous
   Gladiator
 
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the
next."


Gifted Daniel Day Lewis, Madeleine Stowe and Russell Means
in Michael Mann's  fabulous

The last of the Mohicans

The final scene where the last of the mohicans, Chingachgook mourns the death of his only natural son, Uncas with his white son Nathaniel and Cora, whom they saved from the hands of the Hurons and who also lost her sister Alice in the final battle...

A wonderful thing happened to me this winter: An art collector, Pasi Alajoki wanted to buy my painting and donate it to the local Red Cross Blood Service . He was  inspired by its name, composition and idea to do so. A local newspaper made a story telling about Pasi's previous donations, the way donating makes him feel and this painting of mine: Give. The donating was a warm, nice happening and I am humbly grateful and happy.

 

My last solo exhibition,  Cold light, in Gallery Gylich,
Vuojoki Mansion, Eurajoki in November, was very succesful, thanks to you all, who visited it.  See photos here.
