It brought great emotion of fighting and the victory. It overwhelmed me with its beauty and fierce triumph at the same time. I can see now the feelings you placed in your painting. My longing would be to hear it again. I love this painting.
Phyllis

I have called it being “ sentimental” but it is a sense of longing for what was and for what we want/need for our creative lives. Thank you, Paivi!

The name of the hymn eludes me at the moment.
It’s lovely to read of your life and I can imagine your longing – but I am sure your mother and Saimi must be watching over you and very proud of you.
Your art in all aspects is truly wonderful and each piece I see I go “WOW!”.
I do see emotion in Kaiho – to me the warm colours behind remind me of the warmth of the past and your passion in remembrance. The cool colours to the front remind me of peace and acceptance, some things we can never change but the events of life make us who and what we are.
Paiva, thank you for your gift and for sharing it with us. It’s really beautiful and a joy to behold. Thank you. x
