**************************
Art Pispala's Naive art exhibition in January 2025 will feature quite a few classics of Finnish Naive art. One of the naivists I have admired for years is Anita Backlund (b. 1954). There is positivity in her works, believing in the little things in life and enjoying them. The painting above, "Hand in Hand", believes in peace, with doves in the sky and Finnish (?) people of different ages holding hands under palm trees. Backlund's paintings often feature cats and other animals, of course. The colors are cheerful, and I have always liked her way of depicting lawns with flowers.
