Autumn is silence and a fairy tale. This is a space woven from the gilding of trees. It's the blues of falling leaves 🍂 Autumn smells of apples, campfire smoke and damp earth. And although it's days can still be sunny, it's nights are already crystal cold and deep. And in the autumn blue-black sky the stars are strikingly bright and arrogant... With each subsequent autumn day the lights in the windows of the houses turn on earlier. And on the still open verandas, mojito cafes and iced coffee give way to hot tea and mulled wine. Autumn is the setting sun of the outgoing year. And in these days, flavored with the first cold weather, there seems to be a slight sadness of saying goodbye to summer. It was as if someone had touched the guitar strings with his hand...
What do you think - what kind of place is this? For some reason, it seems to me that it's Latin America. And in general I feel here a taste of O'Henry in my artwork. ...Somewhere in the distance, the approaching steamer "United Fruits" is humming. A graying donna is sitting in the shade on a balcony, drinking light claret, looking at a photo of a young man on the wall: it is her son, and the wayward son himself, who ran away from home to the Northern States, is riding across the prairie in search of adventure and fame...
I'd call this place a "God-forgotten medieval French village," but it's called something else. Saint-Cirq Lapopie. But of course it is not forgotten by God. In fact it is an open-air museum located in a nature reserve. And it seems that it's doing everything possible not to take even one step into the XXI century. 😄 A kind of miniature town that refused to progress. Saint-Cirq Lapopie is French people's favorite village — they even voted for it. (Oh, and I thought their favorite place is Paris))) It is also called the village of artists. I understand artists. I would live here too. This place is created out of history, beauty and for inspiration ✨ Art Café
Everyone has their own protected forest hidden inside. There new tender sprouts of feelings and expectations are reaching for the sky. There is also an unshakable maturity of trunks and crowns. But there are always dead, moss–covered trees... and it is not known when the winds and rains will scatter and dissolve them. Elves live there — ghostly and beautiful. And at the same time, there are monsters that crawl out of their holes from time to time. And people, other people, are changing this forest like no one else."
It seems that the world in which we live can be viewed without disgust only because there is beauty in it, which human creates from time to time out of chaos. Music, books, paintings, the life he manages to live. And most of all beauty lies in a perfectly lived life. This is the highest work of art"
There are people I'd like to look behind the screen of their lives. How could I explain it... This is when you see a person, and it seems that you have a book in your hands in an unusually intriguing cover. There is a story hidden behind this cover. And it doesn't even matter what the outcome is. It can be any genre: from fantasy to drama. You just want to read this particular book, even though you picked it up just a few moments ago. I've only met such people twice. And these were very fleeting meetings. One girl was buying a strawberry cocktail in the street window of a McDonald's. I noticed the second one when she was sitting at a tiny table in an outdoor cafe with a cup of coffee and a cigarette. And each time I got the feeling that both of them were having an affair with their life.
Chefchaouen or the Blue City of Morocco 🇲🇦 The business card of this Moroccan town is 50 shades of blue and light blue. There is still no consensus on why he is like this. Just as there is no specific time when it became like that. I've read different versions. None of them explains the reason for Chefchaouen's color scheme. One version says that this is a tribute to the Mediterranean Sea. Which one is strange because the town is not seaside. According to the second version Chefchaouen has the color of water, and according to the third - the color of the sky. I suspect that these are the inventions of either guides or copywriters There is also an opinion that Chefchaouen was given a blue color to scare away mosquitoes. It seems like mosquitoes treat blue badly and accordingly behave less audaciously. And this version is not the most fun!🤦♀️ The most stupid version (for me) was the one that back in the XVI century Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur al-Zahabi, whose reign is called the "golden age" of the country, visited Surgut. It's not the most interessting russian town. And he was so amazed by the beauty of the Surgut entrances that he could not resist, returned to his home in Morocco and ordered his hometown to be painted blue. The XVI century and the beautiful blue entrances of Surgut. Which the Moroccan Sultan was jealous of, can you imagin? :-D I could also add that since then Shefshauen and Surgut have been twin cities, but I won't. I've already written enough nonsense here. Of course it's not mine but...nevertheless. Meanwhile, Chefchaouen is one of a kind. It's very atmospheric, very photogenic... I've been wanting to draw it for a long time — and now I've drawn it. It looks like the halls of the Snow Queen in the eastern version I like it. I would also like to walk around Chefchaouen; take pictures of the streets, feel its unusual atmosphere... And once again I wonder: why is it like this? Art Café
There is a certain trend. If Japan is depicted in the picture, then there is certainly a blooming sakura 🌸🌸🌸 Of course, It blooms for a limited time. Actually like any trees that tend to bloom - about two weeks. But I like to splash pink on paper with my soul, so that later I can give these spots the shape of a tree crown. Gentle and unusual. After all without these pink colors any Japanese landscape will turn into an ordinary one? 😉 Art Café
When I saw the photo of this fabulous English village, I had no idea exactly where and in which part of Britain it was located. And what its name was, and so on... I just liked these "gingerbread" houses and the cozy atmosphere of the winter village. Later I found out that this village is called Castle Combe, and it's in Wiltshire. I was happy to paint a picture of the winter Castle Combe, and this is one of my favorite works!
I painted this picture again. But the first version of the smaller format I hung in my daughter's children's bedroom. On the eve of winter and Christmas, I like to look at it and imagine the life of the inhabitants of a small town passing behind cozy glowing windows... Art Café
I finally realized one of my intentions. Namely: pack a suitcase, go to take canvases and a box of oil paints and go to the village. And feel myself in a different way. I just wanted to stay in the silence of a country house. Looking out the window at the mild autumn. Drinking tea from a large mug while sitting on the porch of the house. To turn off all phones and leave all the news of the world on the other side of the blank screen. And painting painting painting pictures. I didn't have to turn off the phones, they didn't work anyway. They were probably even glad that they would finally stop being used for and without reason. And I wrote this picture. I already painted it in watercolor in the spring. And even then I knew that I would paint it again and in oil technique. What can I say... Oil is a great material. For painting of white bricks - the best thing! 👍 Watercolor version has already sold, but maybe I will write it again Art Café
Greek courtyards are so recognizable and classic 😉 When I fill out a product card on the art and handmade marketplaces, the algorithm always asks me to specify the main colors of the painting. And so I always write about Greece: white, blue, pink. By the way, it's very convenient, you don't have to invent anything. Just three colors of Greece. Ah, there is also a color that I call "purple haze", which shadows fall on. But these are the details 😉
I often paint coffee-themed paintings in watercolor but recently I wanted to paint coffee-themed paintings in oil. That's why I was inspired to depict a hand mill and coffee beans. And this is the picture that turned out. Coffee and cozy one -the way I like it. I also have a coffee mill like this one at home. I bought it in the early 2000s. It's a pretty wooden coffee box. It's still on my shelf. And I always have a few coffee beans in the drawer for ground coffee - for luck.
"Autumn in the City" 🍂🍁 20x30 cm, oil on canvas I've always loved watercolor, but now I'm in love with oil painting. There was a time when I was afraid of canvas — I thought it was some kind of very scary and unconquerable material, with which there is no room for error. On canvas, it manifests itself as a leading partner in ballroom dancing. It carries away and gives speed where everything turned out easily, and patiently slows down where I stumble) And we come back to some elements again and again, so that everything turns out the way I intended. And it's so cool! The street reminds me of Moscow's Old Arbat. And I want to take a huge umbrella and - while the painting is drying - go for a walk on it 🍂☕️☔️
