Split Shells



SOLD

The last few times I posted my works, I realized that I'd forgotten to take photos of my work in progress. This time I remembered to take a shot of the beginning stage of my work. Thanks foe watching!

Egg and Jug

This is my favorite jug - therefore I paint it often. I think it looks best with an egg by its side.

Yellow on Purple


SOLD

A few weeks ago I already painted this creamer with this very same knife and a lemon. After that I was asked to paint a similar work and I decided to do so but use a different background color. The lemon is also a different one, although it might look the same, as the previous one, after diligently serving me as a model, has ended its earthly days in my family's tea cups (lemon tea is very popular in Russia).

Gold Reflection






This is the final work of "Preview" that I posted earlier. The new additions to the third and final version are the seeds and the knife.

Green and Yellow

The composition is quite similar to the one I painted recently, but this one is horizontal...I enjoy painting lemons so much, so they appear in many of my works.

Simply Irresistible

I just realized that I love painting apples. I have a few apple trees in my garden and the apples on different trees are, although similar, still very different in shape and color when you take a closer look at them. Sometimes I imagine that they belong to a few rival families contending with each other for the first prize of an apple beauty pageant.

Bright Fruit

SOLD

Me and my daughter were taking a walk in the park, and on our way home, we saw a stand with lemons and bunches of grapes. My daughter told me "These grapes would be great for a still life of yours, Mom..." So there you are - "Bright Fruit". And, in addition, FREE SHIPPING!

Making Apple Pie

What does the reflected image in the jug look like to you? Unlike my daughter's opinion, it is actually an apple. Which is why I named the piece "Making Apple Pie".

Lemons and Lime

I was trying to convey the shining, translucent yellow of the lemons in my today's painting and I am happy with the result.

This is my first watermelon this season. It is very delicious and refreshing.  Also it was very refreshing to paint.

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.
