Let's get acquainted

 
I like to lose myself in the moments when life paints a picture, moving my hand.

I like being blown by the wind,  being soaked through by birds,   I like to get hungry at my easel, and sometimes even get soaked in the rain, and then drink tea with a sandwich.

I love painting and drawing every day, this is the novelty and eternal freshness for me.

I love it when a spot starts to resemble what I'm trying to convey, whether it's the curve of a petal, an irregularly shaped leaf, a disheveled bush, or a cloud flying by.

I like to paint things that I've already lived for a long time - old architecture, leaning huts, they have so much peace that there's enough for all of us.

And I also know that I love to draw my children, but it rarely happens, yet.
 

And I love creating worlds in books.  Animate characters, create an atmosphere. You can view some of my projects by scrolling through this page to the end.

I love my home in nature, I love raising roses and children.
If any of this list looks like a list of your loves, then you should take a look at the gallery. Perhaps you will take a piece of my love for yourself.

Branches of a blooming apple tree. A study

Oil on cardboard , 2022

A small, elegant painting with blooming branches of an old apple tree. The sketch was painted on the site of an old village, on a May day. There were overgrown gardens all around, just birds, the wind, and a roe deer running past. Beautiful are these delicate flowers decorating the old mossy branches. A celebration of spring and life!

Swallows nest in this place on the steep shore. On the opposite side, children are swimming, and in this place I feel like I'm in the book "Dandelion Wine," embraced by the carefree summer, when you can swim, eat strawberries, and drink real cow milk. So this sketch was written while the children were swimming, quickly and easily, as I like

Illustrated books

informative and fabulous

Tara from the dandelion folk

I have illustrated with interest 2 books from the series about Tara, a girl from the dandelion people written by Kypriana Daniels. Informative, sweet, original, if I could describe these stories...

family values

Family stories about Jera

The illustrations for the book "The Stories of Jera" are family stories about Grandma's favorite horse, Jera. It is so wonderful when a book appears in the family that tells about the past - it is valuable for posterity. Write down the stories of grandparents, as well as your own, invent fairy tales with children, suddenly good books will grow out of these stories over time!

kind story

If Granpas Grew Like Trees

This is a story written by Mary Jeswald, inspired by a conversation between a grandson and his grandfather. I would say that the book is permeated with sunshine and love. The book is about how observing nature opens the door to a rich world of fantasy, and gives rise to wonderful stories... Some of the illustrations are presented here, the rest are in the process and will be added to this album soon...
