I decided that I should paint
a memorial picture of my birth town. - What kind of a poet is someone
who cannot even write a memorial poem, said Arvo Turtiainen to his colleagues
who were crying down the verses that he had written for labour festivals.
So even the painting of a memorial picture requires not only courage but
also professional skills these days. Courage, because modern artists do
not represent anything in their paintings. I climbed up the hill in Tervaniemi
Park making the necessary preparations on a divinely beautiful summer
day.
