Solitude A little painting for an upcoming exhibition organized by the local university students&#39; art club. The theme for it is &quot;emotions&quot;, and naturally I chose my favorite of them all: that sense of absolute peace you can only feel when completely alone and in no hurry to go anywhere or do anything

The Finnish language doesn't make a difference between "solitude" and "loneliness", which is funny to me because we're like, the people who invented enjoying being alone :P And it's a pretty limiting omission - having spent the vast majority of my adult life alone and continuing to do so for the foreseeable future, I know very well how wide the spectrum between healing solitude and crushing loneliness is, but both are just the negatively charged "yksinäisyys" in Finnish

This painting ^ is now on display at Agora for a few weeks, consider going to look at it (and the other nice works by fellow art club -goers!) if you’re among the one or two people from Jyväskylä who follow me here
