The mast
Hello!
I just joined this forum and wish to share a picture I did a few years back. This is a mast of an old wooden ship. I just love all details and aging materials. The picture is about 25x30 inches on paper. Thank you for any comments.

Hei Viuhti,

Of course that when I saw this work, I had to find out if you had a website.
And you sure have it and indeed has great work there.
I also found it quite easy to navigate.
As for this work, what can I say besides great ?

Näkemiin Viuhti,

José
