The hard Siberian Winter is a dream and a quintessence of the weather in Russia. The crispy snow, the skin-tingling cold and the cold-air burning lungs. Though the true magic of the Winter one can feel at the edge of the Spring, when the sunshine becomes a bit warmer.

The formal vegetable garden of the medieval Villandry Castle traditionally attracts tourists from all over the world. It is particularly beautiful in autumn, when the ground bares fruit due to people’s care. The composition of the picture is simple. We see the vast formal garden planted with vegetables and grass with the ancient stone buildings in the background. The artist does not aim at depicting minutely the amazing landscape in front of her. The forms are hardly conveyed by rapid and accurate color brushstrokes. The picture is full of sun, light, air, wind, that create its wonderful festive atmosphere captured by the artist to please the viewers.

It is not a big but very expressive portrait of Sergey’s girlfriend. The tradition of portraying relatives and friends is kept by Petersburg artists from generation to generation. Not surprising because the warm and trusting relationships form close communication which help create such works with these people as the models.

In his painting “Boat” the artist touches his favorite subject which is the image of the boat in the stagnant water amidst the high yellow grass, slightly swinging in the light evening wind. We see the back of the naked young woman. It is difficult to understand if the artist wants to depict the beautiful naiad going to swim, a place for a romantic date or if it is just the reflection of the artist’s fancies. However it does not really matter. This painting attracts our attention by its organized composition, nice colours and facility of painting style. The “Boat” will become an interesting detail in the most exquisite interior.

We see the White Sea shore so often conveyed by the artist. This time we see it under the thick layer of snow. Everything is covered with the white veil. Only the huts crowd in the background and a naked forest can be seen in the distance. Painting winter is an extremely difficult task for the painter but she easily meets this challenge, turning the endless white space with quick and sharp brushstrokes into the picturesque canvas. We admire the traces on the snow, the great variety of tones, the color flashing on the walls of the houses and the leaden decorative sky. The dull winter landscape having found dynamics and colors, begins to tell the attentive viewer about the long impelled period of quietness, the coming spring, the eternity.

A Saturday bathing on an ordinary Karelian gray day. A small bathhouse on the bank of a river. Light smoke arises from the shaft and disappears in the calm winter landscape. Purity and freshness comes from the painting created by a soft tone color whose integrity gives inexplicable attraction to the whole picture.
