Continuing here the theme of Ukrainian church domes. It’s a real pleasure to paint this beauty.
I caught a cold, as well as the baby, and a bit under the weather, not producing as much as I should a week before my first show.
Katherine I Hardy – a new artist who’s work I like. She illustrated the Great Gatsby and got her degree from RCA.

I painted this one to match my other small and larger pieces of the church domes for the upcoming exhibition.

I was fascinated withBbabylegs product for a while, but realized the winter will be over by the time I get them ordered from the States so I went off improvising. Roma ended up with a pair of my toe knee socks on, looking quite disheveled and terribly funny. I wonder what he’ll have to say about this number when he grows up, hm…
Everybody in expat community knowns of Inna Panteleymonova art
My current inspiration comes from Caro Niederer’s landscapes that she presents in the context of her living environment.
Oxana Mas is one hot selling pancake in the US art market, a creative young Ukrainian artist, some describe her art more as interior design, but it totally fits my “living with your art” concept.
And finally take a look at the new work by Jeremy Lipking.

This one is for Little Miss Moi to remind her to fix her camera soon and take more beautiful pictures!
I am inspired today by the effortless technique of Vasily Tsagolov. He wouldn’t be one of the current greats though without his cool, sometimes violent subject matter.
Another fun painter at Postcard from Provence.

A very cool artist Diana Navarette came to my flickr page; I was happy to find out she makes great expressive portraits.

A few years ago I had an accident: fell down an escalator really bad, with passing out, ambulance, firefighters arriving, all that stuff. Of course ever since I developed a huge phobia about escalators, that is untill I arrived in Kyiv. The metro escalators here are monstrously long and super fast moving. My mom never minded and pushed me on one of these once all in tears but going down nevertheless. Since that I coutiously used the escalators, while stepping behind someone big and steardy looking (in case I decide to fall on them) and I still do this. But now I ride freely, make notes, take pcitures etc. That mom’s big push was a major break in the phobia and really helped in retrospecive.
Check out Masha Shubina’s devoushka paintings at Bereznytsky’s gallery. Her braided backsides are really masterfully done. She made another cool devouska-related project a few years back – Dear Curator, check out the article.
