Finally got around to producing a little neat book – portfolio of my London paintings. Love that the format of the book is the actual size of my tiny 6×6 inch paintings so it frames them perfectly. Yuri Huzzband commented on the paintings looking on the pages even better then in real life (ha), so it’s worth a flip through if you get a chance.

A beautiful Hawksmoor church in Spitalfields, the best shot a could get at it on a rainy day.

Past Sunday I spotted this girl asking a stylishly dressed passer-by to pose for a pic, undoubtefully for one of the face hunting blogs that show the fashionably dressed folk spotted on the streets of London, Paris, and Amsterdam.

A completed commission for a friend. Growing up in West Ukrainian countryside and having a father- an avid hunter, helped imagine this scene.

The other weekend went with friends to the local burger joint in Spitalfieds just to be served the tallest burger I’ve ever seen. Captured them sizing it up to and the taking a pic of it with their iphones.

A new daily painting for today – and a break from working on the very large (2 x 2 m!) Brick Lane piece. Everyone is pretty tired of bundling up before leaving for outside, and getting drenched in icy rain. Let there be sunshine this coming weekend!

I’ve realized I had this painting finished for some time now and have not gotten a chance to post it. It’s one of my biggish portraits, I am getting more comfortable with this format. The little guy was very hard to settle down though. My tricks included cartoons on a laptop perched at the back of my easel and getting him to draw me in return.
Meanwhile I’ve been regularly posting one new watercolor a day on Etsy, see the thumbnails below.

It was a first round of presidential election yesterday in Ukraine. As a coincidence I just finished a portrait of the fabulous Ukrainian journalist and writer Svitlana Pyrkalo. She is holding here an issue of Elle magazine with Yulia Tymoshenko – presidential hopeful in the second election round – on the cover. And there is the braided hairstyle reference.
