I havn't been working on the website for a while, since i have been studying Finnish quite alot and new Master degree just started and i moved here to Jyvaskyla. Many things are going on, i kinda put this website behind. I felt that no one is actually watch it. So if you are checking out my paintings from time to time. please let me. It's really encouraging.

Anyway. here i am again. present you some of my new works. Some of them has been sold out on ebay, some are now available.

Long time no see

2008-07-23T07:54:00.000-07:00

Long time no see

I have been in Finland for almost a month now.

I am doing full time cleaning right now. and i spend the rest of my day working on Ebay . listing and blogging. trying to sell more paintings. So i didn't post anything here. It just seems to me no one is even watching this blog. So i was not so motivated.

But i think i will keep working on this blog, eventhough not so many people are checking this out.

now some new paintings

Dear all, i am having a holiday in China now, staying with parents and seeing friends.

Life is good , except that i miss my boyfriend, and i am putting on more weight, since i am eating much more and doing no sport.

Another good thing is that i could start my ebay selling finally. I have put few paintings there, and it went surprisingly well. I am aware of the intense competition in ebay art market, i was thinking that it might take few monthes before i could make any sells. but all the paintings were sold out once listed. Eventhough the price was hardly enough to cover the cost, i am satisfied already. It is the most important thing for a young artist to know that someone appreciates his or her talent and hard work.

From now on, all my new paintings will be listed here and you can bid for them on ebay.

Good day

summer in Jamsankoski

2008-05-10T04:19:00.000-07:00

This is the second summer i spend here in Finland.

Summer is the most beautiful season here, green grass, forest, lake, and not to mention, the sunshine in the middle of the night. Everything is full of life again, even people are much happier and out going.

I will spend most of my summer in Jamsankoski doing the cleaning job. After a day's work, i drive to this lake sometimes. it's so calm and peaceful. The wind from the lake is so fresh, blowing away the triedness of work and all depressions.

sunset

2008-05-06T13:33:00.000-07:00

The cleaning work is too hard to bear in this two coming weeks, i am too tired to do any new paintings, i have this feeling that i am wasting my life doing this shity job, maybe i should quit and do something else. but i am too tired to think about it tonight.

Here is the painting of sunset. i saw the photo in a newspaper from the rubish, so i took it home, and painted it.

After a crazy weekend in Tampere with my sweet boyfriend,
drinking, partying, sleeping,laughing,
I drove back to my cleaner's apartment in Jamsakoski,
drove back to working life again,
I hate this place and this job like 90% of the time,
but still it's kinda nice to have your own space and income source,
Next week i could start a small exhibition in a cafe in Jamsa center
Hopefully it goes well.

About the painting: this is winter view.

clear blue sky with just right amont of white cloudes,

Cleaner Vs Artist

2008-04-10T10:09:00.000-07:00

I am not sure if it's true that 90% of artists are poor and miserable.
but for now, I am one of them. Being an cleaner in a bus cleaning company is not something that i would imaging. I am doing cleaning work right now, anyway, and going to do it for at lest five monthes. It's not so great job and i hate the smell of the dirty buses, however, it's a good thing that i can stand on my own feet and make a living, not yet by paintings, but hopefully soon.

About the painting, it's the same theme with another landscape painting, but this is the view of spring.
Hope spring comes to Finland soon.

Back to Finland again

2008-03-21T23:40:00.000-07:00

Time flys.
The long holiday of three monthes in China is over just like three seconds.
Here i am, in finland again.
Things have changed a lot and it's a new start.
Even though the future is uncertain
I am moving on with my life
Wish myself luck
The same to you
And Happy Easter

I am reading a book about this famous finnish artist lately .

hot summer day

2007-08-07T13:05:00.000-07:00

it was sooooooo good weather today, sun is shining ,and it's so hot in Finland, surprisingly hot.

I decided to go to the beach

Sanna showed me the place once, and i called hanna asking the direction again. Anyway,i got myself to the beach. No one goes to the beach alone, even in Finland, where people are very independent. But i have no choice, stay at home alone, or go to the beach alone. so i pick the second one. I am going to enjoy life, even if i am all by myself.

And it was really gooooood time . I lied on the beach, relaxing, watching kids jump to the lake.

Oh,i did met two nice girls. They are my new friends now. I started the first move,talk to them. and they ask me to ABC with them .

it was a good day today. and i have been a good girl, brave and optimisti.

BTW, to Niina and Elsi: really nice to meet u , and hope we can be good friends
