Music and musicians, Heavy metal concert, Sirkka Jalava

IRON MAIDEN had a concert here for years ago and I was there! (I could not let my youngest son go there alone with his friend.) It was an experience I`ll not forget: 40 000 people, crowd of people, loud music, food, the preasure in front of the scene,  people who pass out, nurses. But also good feeling of the music, people were friendly, calm, cool. All was very good organized, nowhere long queues, beautiful park miljeue, beach, big boats. The trafic to and from the place was good.

I have only sketched three of them, the rest you can imagine. It was action the whole time.
I am still glad that I went to hear them.
By the way, next day we met them on the airport and my son got their signatures, from all of them.

  2. Sirkka, I cannot tell you how cool I think it is that you went to an Iron Maiden concert. I think it is so cool! And I love this painting. I love how you've used the watercolor to convey the energy of the experience.
