A monochromatic portrait oil painting of the composer Jean Sibelius. A man with a thick mustache and tousled, expressive hair.

Muutama kuva eiliseltä Turun Valon polku -reitin varrelta.

Vaikka ilma oli tihkusateinen, se ei haitannut vaan loi heijastuksillaan lisää valon taikaa.

#Turku #ValonPolku
Nosturi Aura-joen rannalla "tälpual jokke". Nosturi kohoaa harmaata taivasta vasten. Nosturin takana rakennuksen ikkunoissa valoja. Valot heijastuvat jokivedestä. Kuva otettu "toispualt jokke". Nosturista roikkuvassa "kuormassa" on kohdevaloja, jotka pyörivat eri suuntiin ja näyttävät hienolta pimeää taustaa vasten. Yksi valonsäteistä tulee lähes kohti kuvaajaa. Nosturin taakasta useampi valonsäde pyyhkii eri kulmissa alas joen pintaan. Pinnasta heijastuu valoja ja valaistu punainen nosturi. Nosturissa teksti "Wärtsilä". Kuva Turun Suurtorilta. Kuva otettu torin kivetyksen tasolta. Taustalla Brinkkalan talo, jonka parvekkeelta jouluaattona julistetaan joulurauha. Keskellä kuvaa taustalla joulukuusi, jonka edessä kävelevät siluettina aikuinen ja lapsi. Taustan jouluisat valot kuusesta, lyhdyistä ja ikkunoista heijastuvat märästä katukivetyksestä.

Anteeksi nyt etukäteen DVV ja Valtori, mutta tämä on lähes maanpetoksellista toimintaa, kun vielä myönnetään että kolmansien maiden viranomaisilla on todennäköinen pääsy suomalaisten kriittisiin tietoihin. Jollain DVV:n hyväksynnällä ei ole mitään merkitystä AWS:n infrassa.

An oil painting of an autumn forest path covered in golden fallen leaves. Tall trees with yellow foliage line the trail, while evergreen trees rise in the background. A large gray boulder sits on the left side of the path. Farther down the trail, a small figure wearing a red jacket walks away into the distance. The scene feels peaceful, crisp, and full of seasonal color.

Oil on canvas
#Oilpainting #Art
#InglouriousBasterds #EliRoth #DonnyDonowitz #TheBearJew #BradPitt #AldoRain
An oil painting inspired by a low-angle “trunk shot” scene from Inglourious Basterds. Two men lean over from above, framed by bright daylight and dense green foliage. Both figures stare downward with intense expressions; one holds a large knife. The brushwork is vivid and textured, with warm skin tones contrasting against the lively green background. The painting captures tension, urgency, and the stylized pulp energy of the film.

Ajattelin tehdä vielä yhden tällaisen. Sitten saa riittää.

Arvaako tuosta jo, mistä elokuvasta kohtaus on?
