WINTER BIRDS  Exhibition at  the Lonnstrom Art Museum  Studio    Rauma Finland    7.12.2006 - 7.1.2007          Mother sea II                                                        (c) Heli Tuhkanen 2006  watercolour-gouache        MY WORKS AT THE LONNSTROM ART MUSEUM        I am thinking about human fates, justice and equality, but in my paintings   feelings and colour rise to the front.  Melancholy can stay in the background.    Most of my paintings have been painted with oil paints.  Yet there are motifs that are suitable for watercolour-gouache technique:  more reduced, to be surveyed at a closer distance.    I use watercolour and gouache paints together or accomplishing each other,  depending on the desired impression.    At Lonnstrom's I am displaying a collection of watercolor-gouache paintings.    The exhibition includes also an old modified peasant chair  accomplished with Edgar Allan Poe's Raven and portrait of my father.  Accordingly it is dedicated to my father.      Heli Tuhkanen             Listening to the Earth                                                                                                                       (c) Heli Tuhkanen 2006          THE LONNSTROM ART MUSEUM    Valtakatu 7,  26100 Rauma, Finland  Open  tue - thu 12-18, fri - sun 12-16  closed mon      www.lonnstromintaidemuseo.fi
