Very interesting and educative experience, this copy of John Singer Sargent's masterpiece.

The Architectural Fantasy

My fantasy about the Orthodox Church in Kotor, Montenegro in November 2016.

Sweet November

Sweet quiet November evening in Budva, Montenegro.

The Blue of the Sea

The Adriatic Sea has the impossibly beautiful emerald-light blue color. Just look at it and all your problems go away.

Little Marina

Have you ever dreamed to own a yacht? I never did. I am afraid of open spaces with no land in sight. But what a joy to see them, boats and yachts, these beautiful proves of human brain's achievements.

Three Images

Pizza in that restaurant was not a success, but the view has beaten it easily up.
Interesting, that each window section of these three can make a separate finished painting

Out the Window 17. No Funny Sky

Do not beat me for the same picture again and again. I can not stop to record the state of nature outside my window. Sky is the amazing master of magic.

On the Road

Evening light in the middle of August is so beautiful. I can never decide if this light is the breath of autumn, or the last glimpse of the short summer.

Novodevichy Pond

After collecting all my courage and after rather long break,  I am back to sketching outdoors. This time while sketching Novodevichy pond, I made friends with Larissa from Athens, visiting Moscow.  Half an hour later we were chatting like old and dear friends.  Art unites!
