Lucinda, The first time we crossed the border from Russia to Finland, we felt like we had excaped ! We took the train to Helsinki, it was a welcome break from Russia, even though it was the middle of December and the days were short and dark. But Helsinki was decorated for Christmas, and it was like a winter wonderland, even the snow was cleaner. If I may ask, what were you doing in the USSR during the cold war ?

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you for the welcome to the "fearless artists" and for visiting my page.  To answer your question, most of the artworks in my gallery are watercolors.  The close-up images of everyday objects are all watercolors; the pet portraits are graphite, and the murals are acrylic.

I think your technical skill and the way you capture the human spirit is amazing.  It looks like you get spectacular results with the different mediums you try.  I particularly like the way you use fading, composition, and adding background tone to enhance the portraits.

Your work is wonderful! you've managed t capture the essence of your subjects in a marvelous way!

I also love art Calendar, and my favorite column is Jack White's, too!
