The fall is here, so are the apples!  This was the first crop on our farm in Lutsk, so it was Romchyk’s first apple picking experience.

Hannuska showed up one night at the Maydan club (Lutsk, Ukraine) in her great grand mother’s shirt (it was a folk band playing that night). The richness of embroidery gave away it’s origins.

After taking the sad and impersonal District line (no pun intended towards the Tube, I just have higher expectations of it then of the one pictured - in Kyiv) I pulled out this composition. Love how the two girls turned out color-coordinated.  Here are my previous pictures on the subject.

After some trial and error, I have started taking a closer look at my subjects, therefore this watermelon lady’s head is cropped. there is no way I can give credit to all the fine detail on such a small format: 15×15 cm. Hopefully this closer look will divert more attention to doing right the things that do make it to the picture.

Continuing to feed our little fascination with owls. In particular - with Auntie Owl, who is very wise and reads us smart books.

I am loving the religious theme going on right now.  It’s really hard to depict the grins on people’s faces there in such small format. The priest blessed the people pictured behind with some blessing water and so they look soaking wet and happy.

A while back Ukrainian Museum of Russian art had on a Soviet Art retrospective (link leads to some of the better examples, although the text is in Ukrainian).

Continuing to have fun with the stuffed owls. Potap (the owl) ended up on my purse after a particularly joyful play session. It must have gotten hungry and was looking in for treats. The red chair is the same as the other owl’s “brunch” that I just painted.  They all like to hang out around my work space where the red chairs are.

This place seriously serves  the best coffee in whole London. In t heir tiny place on Momnouth street there are four tables at the back of the bar to sit at and enjoy the work of the barristas.

In between all this travel and festivities, I forgot to mention that my little picture By the Well will be exhibited at the Mall galleries in November as part of the ING Discerning Eye competition show.
