Teacup and Mandarin
I have always wanted to take photos of each consecutive stage of my painting process and today I finally did that! Thanks for watching!

Teacup and Berries
Yesterday turned out especially prolific for me. I had just finished my first painting and was about to call it a day when my husband came back home from our country house and brought two baskets full of raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries and currants. He was even so thoughtful as to pick some of them with their leaves - exactly how I need them for my paintings! So, naturally, how could I resist the temptation of painting another one and this became my second painting for the day.

July Poppies
These poppies are growing in the field very close to my country house. Poppies always remind me of Claude Monet's paintings.

Grapefruit and Wild Cherries
These wild cherries are also from my garden - they are different from those cherries that are sold in supermarkets: they are more sour, smaller, but have a unique fragrance. We usually make jam from such cherries and their fragrance makes wild cherry jam especially good.

Lily After Rain
After a whole month of dry weather we finally had a very nice rain. All the flowers and other plants in my garden seemed to rejoice.

Raspberries from My Garden
I picked these raspberries from the raspberry bushes in my garden. What I said before about the ephemeral nature of Russian summer is particularly true about raspberries - their season only lasts for about two weeks. Minus rainy days, of course, when you can't pick them and they might even go all watery and tasteless. Yesterday we had an hour long interruption in the rain and drizzle and I rushed to pick a few berries. That's how these ones survived the rainy day.

Grapefruit and Cherries
I bought this grapefruit and it was supposed to be a red one inside.
My initial disappointment with its color disappeared, however, when I started painting it.
