 I found this large bunch of radishes and was immediately in love with it, knowing I could use it for my next piece.

 As you can see there is a new item in my collection of things to paint. I like the reflections it provides.

Tea on Green

Today it is another bleak and windy day in Georgia, so I wanted to day-dream about Summer, green grassy fields, white sheep grazing on them, and the sun brightly shining above it all. Hence the colors of this painting.

This is the second rose that was given to me (well, actually, to my daughter) that I painted.

This week is the Cheese Fair week in the Russian calendar and we usually make bliny (crepes) all the days of this week. It is the last week when it is okay for us to eat eggs and daity products before the Great Lent.

Cup and Rose

This rose was presented to me as a gift, and I decided to use it as my model today, along with this cup. My daughter received a red rose, but I thought the pale pink rose would look better on the painting. What do you think?

Jar of Honey

 All the time I was painting this jar of honey I was thinking about Winnie-the-Pooh because I had just seen a photo from a NYC museum where the actual prototype Pooh Bear is displayed - the actual toy that used to belong to Milne's son, Christoper Robin Milne.

This is pretty much my work for today. I've enjoyed painting all the wrinkles on the coat sleeves. It's the hands that I plan to work on tomorrow. I think hands are as important as the head of a model. My daughter said that, as of right now, it looks like he's wearing mittens.
