Featured!


Today I received a letter informing that I am featured artist at Art instruction blog and my lilies are at the front page! I just can not believe and want to share! I am a celebrity, a celebrity! :-)))
Мой рисунок "Лилии" помещен на первую страницу сайта для художников  Artistinstructionblog! Вот она, слава! Накрывает.

Everyday matters


A4
I found the blog full of great drawing ideas, inspiration and joy. Everyday matters. Their challenge #1 - draw a shoe. I do my favorite stilettos.


Любимые. На подходе - еще.

Hesitation


A4
From Gry's photo. I saved this photo about two month ago, I felt it as my situation: changes in life, high stairs, dark colors, hesitating girl, thinking where to go.
Two month later the situation in my life  does not feel like that anymore. But the photo is amasing and I want to try the painting.
Figure drawing is the hardest for me, I will keep training.
Фото здесь. Я сохранила это фото около двух месяцев назад, почувствовала свое: перемены в жизни, крутые лестницы, темные цвета, неуверенную девочку на перепутье. Сейчас, спустя два месяца, этой связи больше нет, ситуация изменилась. Но фото так прекрасно, что я должна была попытаться его рисовать. Да, знаю, я еще пока не умею рисовать человеков, но я научусь..

Self-portrait


A3
I read the J.Cameron's book "Artist's Way". It teaches how to activate creativity and enjoy life. The tasks are divided by weeks and this week  task was to make a collage. I had to cut pictures from several old magazines, the pictures which caught my eye and to make my self-portrait. It was a surprise pleasure and fun. For the outsider view it is total mess, I think. But for me each image is full of sense and feeling. And it was a three hours beeing a child with a game experience. I will repeat it for sure.
Я сейчас читаю Джулию Камерон (ссылка выше). Книга "Путь художника". Главы = недели, и на каждую неделю ты получаешь задания. Задание прошедшей недели - сделать коллаж-автопортрет. Это такой класс, оказывается! Я часа три за делом провела (вырезала картинки из старых журналов, те, к которым лип взгляд, лепила их как хотелось, закрашивала пустоты цветными карандашами). Чувствуешь себя в процессе и в результате, как дитя малое, занятое игрой. Ощущение - незабываемое.  И главное, это для Вас здесь хаос и бедлам, а для меня картина наполнена глубоким смыслом, символами и чувствами... :-). И таки да, это - я. Попробуйте сами, не пожалеете!

Klara


This is Klara. She is 85. A week ago Klara visited Moscow and stayed at my place. Lady-bullet, I call her. Smart, optimistic, intelligent. Full of energy and always ready to move forward. And ready to spend an hour in front of the mirror checking her dress and hat.
She lives in the USA and travels twice a year to her relatives in Riga, Latvia. She decided to migrate to the States when she was 60 and when she saw fascist's parades on Riga streets. As you see, Riga is not the only travel destination...
Amasing Klara, I wish you all the best, I adore your power, will and spirit. Good luck, Dear!

Bouquet

That was boring. No freedom, only learning job to be done. But when I started with shadows, boring job became interesting and live.

Italy


A3
Based on photo of Alessandro Terzi
I fell in love with Italy in 1996, when visited it for the first time, mostly because of the amasing harmony of nature, history and modern life.

Apples on Blue Cloth

The situation put me out of easel for a week and now feel that I can not stop painting, good thing I have whole free Saturday to satisfy my hunger! And even a part of Sunday.

Copy of Mineke Reinders' Piece of Art



A4
I go on learning from the talanted people around the world. This painting was done as a copy of transparent Holland scene of Mineke Reinders published in her art blog. Visit it, her watercolors are so sunny and fresh.
Another point I tried here is the changing of the size of the image, posted in the blog. Gry gave me an advice how to do it. No, I will not use this new info for my blog, as my paintings feel fine in standard Blogger's dimensions. But this info will be useful for my Georgian uncle and his amasing photos. Please visit his blog and learn more about the incredable place of the earth called Georgia.

Birds-4


20x40cm
The one on the left. You put small white drop in the middle of the black of its' eye and suddenly the bird is live and looks at you attentively.
The one on the right. Looks watercolourly, I like the effect. Indigo is great.

Birds-3


Suddenly it occured to me that the birds existed in the world. How could it happen I forgot them? For long time it was only beautiful sound of birds' singing, I completely ignored there small harmonous bodies. I want to correct my unattentive behaviour. A lot of birds' paintings to follow.
