This one started with the study of limited palette of white/black/y.ochre/cad.red and the idea to draw something based on folklore.<br />
At the end the painting turned into a symbolic definition of freedom: dignity, wisdom, strength and free will.<br />

The old clown is laughing and still making jokes on the shelf. I already tried to draw him in the beginning of my art story, in faraway 2009. Here he is, and I love them both.<br />

My yoga guru (I am happy to have one!) told us about the amazing power of morning mandala.<br />
<br />
When you get up in the morning and have plans and obligations and fears for the day, drawing morning mandala, easy, without any particular idea, giving your hand freedom and loosing control, gives you relief and energy to be brave and effective during the whole long day.<br />
<br />
Try one, as I did here, I am sure you will like the process. </div>

The funny thing here is I was so happy with the result when finished this portrait. Few weeks later I realized this man is well, a little bit out of order with his nose, neck and some other parts. Now, later on, I desperately recognize the guy looks similar to our president. Ho-ho-ho, do not read too many news, Irina!<br />

The smart name for this post I stole from Madonna's (singer) page I like on Facebook. I am sure she does not care.<br />
The girl is inspired by David Hockney's collage. I used news paper, magazines' pages, Brullov's and Rerikh's reproductions (that explain the richness of her coat, such coat I would like for myself too).<br />
The eyes on the left are the alternative eyes I wanted for my girl. Unfortunately, they were refused and left on the windowsill.<br />

Deserted Ikea, right after the opening, gave me kind of surrealistic feeling. Empty rooms, which are always so alive and crowded, were calm and lonely. Cafe, silent and loaded with food. Little version of planet Earth after the end of times.<br />
<br />
Ordinary disastrous every day events in my country and overall rise of temperature in the world completely washed away my wish to express myself in blogging. But suddenly the spammers helped. The amount of spam became unbearable, which usually shows that blog is forgotten by its owner and needs revival. So here I am, drawing, painting, blogging. I hope you are all right out there, my friends.</div>

Another attempt of mine to solve the secret of transparent and breathing watercolors of inexpliсable, inimitable, talented and unpredictable Mr. Charles Reid (<b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Charles.ClarkReid" target="_blank">his site</a></b>).<br />

It was a shot I unexpectedly caught on TV when scrolling the channels. Russian movie about a lonely woman dreaming to meet the right man was actually a complete disaster, but this scene was great with dark background, red necklace, roses on the table. I memorized it and painted later in tempera.<br />

<br />
These inks and shapes were inspired by the task in Bert Dodson's amazing book (<i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Keys-Drawing-Bert-Dodson/dp/0891343377" target="_blank">Amazon link</a></i>). This book and everyday practice can make miracles to any newbie with a pencil, I believe it and I know it.<br />
