I noticed in my progress the Ukrainian orthodox theme repeating over and over. I like the traditional ceremony, decor and dress. besides my parents are great appreciators for going to church (not as much for worshiping as for admiring the festivities, architecture and company of others at church).  In fact this instance happened during the Honey Spasa festival when the priest blessed the first crops of my dad’s honey and the jar of honey wine you see at front here.

Continuing here on my orthodox christian theme.  Love it for the picturesque settings, sumptuous interiors (like this icon arrangement at the front gates of the church, called the God’s gate). Characters to spot there are equally worth the pic.

There is this amazing coffee shop on top of the Magnus shopping center in Lviv, where we usually have their yummy dumplings and enjoy one of the best views over the Lviv city center. This painting is part of my post-Soviet series.

Benjamin Sullivan has an amazing output of artwork primarily in casual portraits.

Forgot the name of the place, but it’s the type where the waiters act way too cool for their visitors.  The digs are really impressive though. Will look up the name for it shortly.

Went to see the Threadneedle prize show at the Mall galleries this year. Lots of great figurative art,  artists of note for us were Paul Brandford, Peter Brown among others.

Masako Yui stood out from the rest at the Central Saint Martins 2008 MFA opening. As well as it was pleasant to relate to quality abstracts from friends Olga Raciborska and Marc-Alexandre. This painting is part of my post-Soviet series.

These were gracing my mom’s table the other day. the only reason she’d get them is because they are locally (Crimea) grown. This is how I know melons and grapes are in season now. The glass plate on one leg has been around the house as long as I remember – very typical for presenting desserts. This painting is part of my post-Soviet series.
