From Kyiv:

Sarah reports loads of new and amazing stuff accumulated in the back rooms of the Zeh gallery that she trove for hours thanks for the generosity of the owner Oleksandr.  We are both sharing our regret of not investing into Yuri Pikul’s paintings from last year, which by now rose 7 times in price.

Last weekend I went to Oxford to bump this very quaint and buzzing sandwich shop around lunch times. The Advertisement went as follows: East in. Take out. Enjoy the garden - very to the point . Therefore the name.

This is a last chocolate picture, at least for now. The box is now empty and I can’t look at chocolates any more.  The comfort food season just beginning and god knows how much of these we will devour through the winter.  But one can get almost at much pleasure from viewing the sweets on pictures as from eating them. Definitely much healthier this way. Enjoy !

I have not noticed this at first, but observe how the coat hangers’ antlers are growing out of the guy’s head. The leopard print coat of the girl and a sly look adds some drama as well.

Yey! Expanding back to the USA: Just learned that four of my little paintings are going to be exhibited at the Art Raw Projects in Chelsea, NYC February through March 09. More details to come.

I really missed my sguschenka in coffee. Papa teased me the other day with a can of it via Skype video and ended up in a picture. It’s a real shame sguschenka is hard to get in London (sure there must be some specialty shops). In the States it’s dulce de leche - a Mexican staple - sitting on every confectionary isle. No, but I still definitely miss Ukraine more then the States.

Here’s another reflection on our tram trip to Podil. And about the summer. The bus (tram) stops are always full of interesting characters to check out.

Yuri Pikul for whom we (with Mindthegap)  developed gread appreciation after his first solo at Zeh this time has put out amazing figurative paintings. Check it out!
