Revival of the Salted Herring, and new roads at the art world

Salted Her­ring was ‘Gone Fish­ing’ for a while. Now the blog is get­ting a face-lift with some fresh ven­tures. New art is leav­ing the nest in the form of birds, and more art­work is in the process.…not to for­get the pho­tog­ra­phy either. I have been gifted THREE new fan­tas­tic tools: two gor­geous, but easy to carry around cam­eras, one larger with inter­change­able lenses, and one fit to the pocket size with super long fixed zoom, plus a mighty iPhone ( thanks again Sam, Cory, and Kalle, love you!). My love with pho­tog­ra­phy is revived!

For the past months I have been paint­ing busily, big and small. My lat­est Bird Paint­ings are small in size, but big on tex­tures. They are painted entirely with palette knife for cer­tain abstract­ness, and def­i­nitely for the mighty tex­ture. All oil on canvas.

I have made a pact with myself to update the Salted Her­ring more fre­quently. Please be patient.…all takes time. Like it is said “hyvää kan­nat­taa odot­taa”, heh, pun intended. I don’t know how the heck it is said in Eng­lish ( make me wiser, please!), but some­thing like just wait, ‘good things’ are coming…or at least that is the plan.

You know how the birds are.…they can fly freely and fast. This flock is ready to fly  from the nest. Let me know what you think!
