Nostalgia

Not Available.

A very-very old one. Was painted in early 90th for a friend who was moving to another country. Then it was feeling that we'd never meet again, but, at fact, world gotta small in last 20 years, so, we met. We are keeping in touch and keeping hope to meet and have time together.

Photo is quite awful, sorry abt it. These black butterflies currently "living" in States. One day I'll arrive there myself and will get a better picture of it ;-)

Carol Marine and her paintings

 


Finally we received our purchase of Carol Marine's books from States!
I adore her brushwork!
Now (I) have a pleasure of leafing through a book.



And here is a tip from Carol, useful for everyone who paints with oil:
" I found a very cool solution for taking breaks from painting! They're called "paint savers" and they're little suction cup thingies that keep your paint wet for weeks. And instead of explaining them away I'll just show you this picture and give you a link to the website: www.paintsavers.org. Very cool!"

A flower

"A flower" - from series of "Cyclamen",
Size: 12x8 cm
Media: oil colors

Every winter I have return guests - flowering cyclamens.
First they came as singles - delicate pale lilac propellers.
It's fun to watch them - during the light day they move their petals from complete down, through sides to "hands up" position. Their behaving remembers me sea stars.

In some weeks they become a carpet. Dark fleshy green leaves are at the 1st floor and stars of cyclamens in the upper floor. Stars swing on thin legs, turning the faces to the sun. Sometimes they pour on the leaves of a handful of yellow pollen. Weightless iridescent hummingbirds hang over a flowers, picking "the Best piece". With dusk propellers are switching to night shift, if night cold they look especially happy and fresh.  I hope to paint them more this winer - the season just begins.
