Silver and Pansy

I have just gotten back from a marvelous trip to St Petersburg (Russia) full of inspiration and am eager to start painting again! It was a family trip, so I didn't take any art supplies with me. There I visited the Russian Museum of Art and the Hermitage Museum, and discovered many new artists and their eye-opening paintings.
This is my first work after getting back (me and my family arrived yesterday morning), and I realized that it was tough but exciting to start anew after 17 days of rest!

Yesterday I received a package of gessoboards. I've never painted on them before, so it was unusual for me to work on such a smooth surface. It's different, and I need time to get used to it. I always gesso my canvases before I paint, but these gessoboards are unexpectedly smooth for me. I liked the feeling of discovering something new. It's refreshing. Thank you all for the comments!
