Naïve Artist in Iittala Christmas exhibition 2017 opened yesterday. Even the sun shone when the curator Hannu Castrén interviewed the artists. Several of them told about their techniques or subjects, pastel drawing, bird's names, and also I displayed a piece of carved lino. It was interesting to see Reijo Kivijärvi's unfinished painting and hear, how he plans to advance with the painting. On the walls of the exhibition there were a lot of cats as always, other animals and winter scenes. The lobby shop was full of cards. I was promoted, too, to a loo artist when Anne had adapted some of my post card to art works with Ikea frames. Puss in Boots was reflected on several mirrors.
