I saw an ad for the herring, and sketched this little oil to illustrate the most memorable food from the trip we jus had.  This guy looks like he is goign ot slurp the poor fish tail down in a minute and with great gusto.

Having visited the Vermeer center ( a total waste  of time since there were no actual paintings there) we got a picture of that perfect mock up of a setting here Vermeer painted his serene portraits.

Just got back from a  short vacation in Holland: got to see Amsterdam and Delft.

Visited the Rijksmseum, saw several best Vermeer’s paintings and fell head over hills with his art over again. This painting is what I saw from similar vantage point he took 400 years ago to paint his famous view.  An amazing collection of info on Vermeer is collected online here.

We stayed in the house on the right once during our visit to Lviv. 17th century house - got to be charming and all, right? Well, the tram tracks are quiet indeed as the landlord promised us, but the cat piss and very rickety stairs to the top floor are no joy. In my recent epic apartment hunt I found out though that surprisingly, many historic buildings in London are not kept up either, so can’t blame it on Ukrainians’ aesthetics alone.

Today attended a life drawing session at the Candida gallery, here are the results.
