She is Here...

While He is being "In The Now", She's been "Always Here" for Him...

In The Now...

Friend's portrait...

Chooka-Pumbra birdy...

Well, long time no posts. 

Sorry, I've been busy.

Here you go... another bird...

Some calligraphy practicing...

Black gouache on paper, the actual size is 12'x12'.
It means something like Brotherhood... or?.. Someone help me :)

Spring time!..

Okay, there you go :) But it's not a fresh one.

I did this illustration a few years ago for my Grand Dad's book of poetry he wrote. He did a great job. I drew a few illustrations for the book which is a mix of reflections about Life, War and Love. He has a great life experience. He is 97 years old now and full of human power. Big Heart! God bless him...

I like this feedback...

Marcelo Vignaly: "Oh my goodness, poor Santa!"

To all of you my Dear Friends...

Old man...

Here is an old gentleman from my today's mall sketching...

Nikita... My Man.

Are you coming?..

Autumn...

Well, there you go. I think, summer, it was here just yesterday... But it's gone. So quick, as usual. It's autumn now. And I saw some snow up in the mountains already. Jeez... Time is running.  

I wanna say Big Thanks! to my buddy Jesse for taking us (me and my son Nikita) out for plain air painting today. That was fun :) 

We went down to Barnet Marine Park. OK, we're all set up... 5 minutes of painting and it started raining a little. It was good for a minute, because I got some nice rainy texture on my paper. Then, the rain went down harder and had just washed away my water color in 30 seconds. Same happened to my son's marker drawing. Poor little kid got so upset so he walked away into that green little field and was seating on the grass over there right under the rain. Well, we packed our stuff back up and drove back home to get the paintings finished by memory. Nikita did another nice drawing right on top of a very cool rainy wash-out. 

Jesse's wife joined us later. The fire place was on. And a glass of white chocolate port for the big guys and chicken soup for the little one helped out to finish the day on a good note... 

Cheers...

Once Upon A Time In America...

Once upon a time I did this book jacket for a famous gangster saga "Once Upon A Time In America", for a Russian publishing house. Water color.

Gooooood Mooorning!..

Italiano...

Gooood Morning!..

Something fresh...

Here I am, got some fresh sketches here.
- my son Nikita
- and a little bit of watercolor again -- the portrait is just a warm-up, popped out of my head -- imagination... The landscape is based on another sketch I did recently while canoeing on a lake.

Ovi — 8

If you like hockey, you know this great player, crazy number 8 — Alex Ovechkin.

A lil' bit of a fresh stuff...
