Sunflower

Ripe Sunflowers, textured, each of them has its own unrepeatable uniqueness and compels attention of artists for a long time. Sunflowers became a symbol of Sun and vitality.
On the picture you can see a sunflower in a full vigor. Signs of wilting barely touched a flower, its yellow petals still tremble on the wind. Stem is juicy green and full of vital energy. Only the velvet black, special shine of seeds hints about the soon fading on the one side and undercover spark of life on the another side.
Depicted on the sky blue background sunflower as if it can’t leave the Sun. The cold blue highlights a warm green of flower, its vitality, relief and peculiar monumentality. All this modest triumph of being complemented with volume green of leaf shined with sunlight.


This still life could perfectly decorate a dinning area or an open veranda. Wonderfully blend in the children's room and give a shining joyful mood.
Size 30x30 cm., oil on canvas/cardboard.

Gladiolus

Amazing variety of forms and colors of gladiolus makes it one of the favorite flowers of artists. 
Vincent van Gogh and Clod Monet painted gladioluses as separately, as in flower pieces. These flowers let painters to show all color palette, game of tones on its velvet petals, which sometimes reflex and sometimes absorb the sunlight. Old masters could show the whole symphony of fillings on the canvas through these glorious flowers.
Let me introduce you my attempt to show the charming of gladiolus. Noble knightly color of a ripe cherry, velvet and royal, it fills all space of canvas, as if it soars over lightly cold background, which highlights beauty of flower. Warm spots of yellow accent an expression of red color in the light tones.


This still life perfectly fits into the still interior and gives not only a bright color accent, but also a good mood to owner.

Light blue, pink and violet knapweeds are enliven the color palette and harmonize with background. Flowers and leaves lighted with sun. For a background I applied curved brush strokes and freer painting manner.

Raspberries



So, today let me share one more little fruit painting - Raspberries (oil on canvas/cardboard, 15x15cm). Honestly, raspberries are my favorite berries. I like its saturated color and yummy form. For this etude I spilled a handful of berries on the white table.
I applied soft strokes to achieve lightly blending of colors. Also, I carefully painted all details, overtones and reflexes using fine pointed brush.
