Leaving a very busy year..This year is contrasting…
The outgoing year was perfect….year gave all sorts of events.
This year had a lot of meetings , breaking up, a sudden illness, there were charming acquaintance, had a lot to learn, work…..
The end of year the same contrast….
This year has not ended ,it continues to hurt, to surprise and delight.
Today my picture published in our newspaper,, The Guardian ,,to the front page and a small article about me,my bio.
I am pleased to report it.

You can also see the other images that made the front page of other eight editions and the ones that didn’t. Click on the links at the bottom of my bio.
P.S.But also today I was rejected by publications of my paintings for sale on UGallery.com.Oops.
Yesterday I became unemployed, my studio was closed, it was bought.
Oh this year…
But I’m not upset.
I learned how to write articles during this year, learned to blog on my page.I wrote the script of the documentary film about Christmas and now doing scenes for him.
I learned how to montage video of the small films.
Everything, that is presented on this website is made by myself: films, photo, edition, and the sound edition.
But this is only the beginning..All that I started this year.
During the year, I drew a lot and created a number of different collections.
This year has given me a powerful impetus to my work.
I love to paint winter landscapes.
It is clean, full of melody paintings.
The purity of the winter landscape is charming.
It is impossible not to love the winter landscape.
There is a film on the main page of the site about my paintings with a winter story.
I am going to create another block of this cycle of paintings.
Thank you for such support me.
It has a collection of works in the same style.
In previous blogs, you will see my other work.

I wanted to paint a new painting, fresh and new again.
I got a present creative inspiration, drawing the mandala.
I transformed the style of the new filling Petrikivsky style.
My work style is characterized by two important moments:
I paint with oil paints on canvas.
I draw dotted strokes are ,not solid lines.
If you look good in the pictures, it is evident.
These changes give a different image of the pictures and make warmer shades.
One of my main drawing color is dark background.
I chose as the main image of the rooster.
That is image of the next year,image of the new year, image of the coming year.
Like all of you, I wish it to be fruitful, peaceful and prosperous year.
My recent work reminded me of the old traditions.Lirrle comment about it……Ha-ha-ha…
Hahaha…my predecessors …… 🙂
In the past, women painted the walls of huts in the symbols of the coming year 🙂
I am a representative of the Women :), but in these modern times and I continue the tradition style.
Women today is not much different from their predecessors.
Very little change……Ha-ha-ha…
Well, just a little change…….Ha-ha-ha….
Almost unchanged……Ha-ha-ha….
Look at the photo at the beginning of a paragraph…… 🙂

Some changes in my site, that I want to tell.

Today I want to talk about an important topic for the artists selling paintings and own artwork. We will discuss experience and modern trends.
The term of Art for sale refers to the sale of the executed works the artist – painting https://en.
Generally, the sale of original artist work can be done in several ways. Sale of artwork of artists at auction, selling online, sale on exhibitions, sales in the galleries.
The classic option is to sell the artwork in galleries but this selling style has lost its popularity due to the advancement of the Internet. The gallery exhibitions are good that the buyer personally to see the picture and verify the quality. Another advantage is that one can see more works and get acquainted with the artist himself.
On the other hand, due to economy of scale, collective exhibitions have become very popular. They last for a week or more. The exhibition represents artists from one to many and presents a variety of styles and trends. It is profitable for artists and buyers .
The most popular is selling art nowadays through the Internet. This sale is done through websites.Therefore, it is important for web developers and artists owners of websites to present accurate information, quality photos and exact dimensions. It is also very important to create a website to become popular.The popularity doesnt not dependent on paid advertising, but depends on the content. Site content and web design are also important factors. You can create a website yourself, can be used to develop a platform, and you can use popular sites like Amazon,Etsy,Ebay…
Here is an advice from 3 online Gallery Leaders http://
I personally chose to present my artwork online because it is fast-growing and (and almost free) place to trade art. I also can reach wider audience of customers. The flexibility to plan your time and efficiency that’s all influenced my decision.
The first problem concerns the popular large sites like Etsy is very high competitiveness.
To solve this problem you need to learn online marketing and to learn more about how they operate. Certain websites help organize artist page but you need to learn how to use and operate. here is an example: http://www.
Finally its important to note that its all about marketing and analytics. I want to emphasize that fast online sale is impossible. It takes time to develop and acquire buyers.
Today I will describe one of the styles in which I work.This popular style is called Petrikivka.
Petrikovka is a ethnic style, popular in Ukraine.It said that many years ago, each ukrainian woman loving her house painted in this style his house wall.
Ha-ha-ha-ha…
I continue the tradition of my ancestors already for 20 years 🙂
Really love try new colors and shades, changing the line and I love to draw cocks 🙂
I finished to draw this picture yesterday…..
Its size 11″x14′ oil canvas
Inspired me this winter by the drawing in the design of,,Petrikivskaya paintings,, the party paintings …….
Winter came powerfully and heavy snowfall….
Sitting in a warm room near the window, I will fill my paintings in blue and white….
This winter colors….colors cold .My paintings inhabit the area between abstraction and figuration.
I drew a collection of paintings under the inspiration of winter evenings, intensive studio work, household chores and joyful mood in anticipation of the New Year….
This third work in this style.I can’t stop.I think about upcoming holidays, I must prepare for it. I must clean the house.I must stop painting for holiday’s time.
I can not stop………
I’m keen on color tones and patterns.
Wants to create more and more.
It’s a hard work.
Often operate on a light canvas or paper and by watercolor or gouache or acrylic.
I chose the hard way.
I draw on a dark canvas by oil paints.
First, I paint a white background canvas to black color.I am waiting for it to dry more then week.
So once I prepar to 10 canvas.
Then I draw by pencil ekskiz future painting.
This pic shows how I created and painted my artwork:
I look the works of famous Ukrainian artists, taking their example.
But I come up with my own style and pattern.
Then begin wonders 🙂 🙂
I draw a painting on one or two days.
A lot of energy gives the painting such artwork.
Then I wait two days to paint has dried up.
And after two three-day repeat layers.
Often repeat white color.That color sensitive,white color disappears on a dark background.
I repeat up to three times applying white color.
It is necessary that the picture come brighter.
This is not seen on the canvas.
And….told about my small cute helper …..
I dry the painting in the room where my Chihuahua Cindy lives.
I land on the newspaper on the floor and dry my paintinds here.
Cindy during the night appreciates my creativity…..Ha-ha-ha….
I have several times found the image of the dog’s feet in my pictures 🙂
So it is she signed…..
I washed them….and painted again….
After drying I put on paintings Varnish to save colors from destruction.
I appreciate your feedback and I look forward to your comments, which will publish on the block page.
Christmas mood adjusts to purchase gifts.
Coming Christmas…..coming Christmas…..coming Christmas…..
Around New Year holidays, we all preparing for them.
It is the busiest days of the year.
We are planning new changes next year during this time.
Someone prepare to travel, someone preapare home for visitors,someone just thinking something..
The someone celebrate in the family circle,someone goes on a journey,
someone meets with friends.
New Year is coming and everyone is thinking about purchasing gifts.
A good idea to give a book us gift.
But it is not so popular this time…
This is a serious gift, …..capture people read your gift book.Today it’s easy by internet…
Another proposal, to give a picture painted by the artist.
It is a serious proposal too……shows the taste and inspiration.
And it’s good idea for decorating room… hangs on the wall the spirit of the artist….ha-ha-ha…I’m kidding…..ha-ha-ha…..skin of the dead animal…..
Unsuitable…..
………….as the smell of the artist and his mood…….
……………..handwriting artist and memories about him……..
That’s better…..so it sounds better….
It does not offend my colleagues and me…
Gift in the form of an original work of art is a very nice gesture and a beautiful gift.
Such a gift is worth attention and remains in memory…..
Are you choose one from my paintings as a gift for New Year ?In my house a collection of my paintings was the trend of the year.
Of course, I will work to increase this collection.
Want it sold in the next year for the world.
To bring with my picture my spirit, my style and my handwriting to you my dear friends…
Leave in your memory a piece of my style and my fantasies….
For this I work, I draw, invent, compose and implemented in paintings.
I give you this chance through exhibitions and through my website.
I give you the chance to buy my works
Encourage your family and friends…..
I congratulate you with the coming holidays…
Wish you celebrate the holidays together and give you warmth and love…
Beginning cold….
With the beginning of intense cold and snow, I draw a lot……
When it’s cold and heavy snowfall it’s stop all outdoor activities.
When winter is started,the days are getting shorter and I wants to be carried out in a closed worm room.
I’m working in the studio on RogersTV.
We shoot a few pilots for future programs.
I like to work the camera operator.
My camera is the most important in the work of our studio.I keep studio guests in shoot.
Last month confirmed me in a good practice as a camera operator.I like my job.
Beginning cold…..
In the evenings at home I draw.
I became more and more fond of drawing
I create different images, I look to the painted picture of the artist in internet.
I like the style of the abstract, but I’m not ready to paint in this style now!
Today I’ll show you what I did last week.
I finished work on two paintings in the style of painting Petrikivskaya painting:
11″x14″ oil canvas
These pictures have not yet put on the website in the main gallery.
I began to share the different pictures and not all put up for sale.
I drew, but still it is necessary to modify the picture with the presence Patali (improvisation of gold):
Patal it is metal,imitation 23 karat Gold.I use small pieces Patal from Simple Gold Leaf.
In this photo shows the application of Patal on the my painting.I create design.
This is my second painting is more created with applique of imitation gold.
It gives color and shine to painting.
I like this style.
It is similar to drawing on metal.
I plan to try this on a large canvas.
I started another picture in Petrikivskaya painting:
🙂 a lot ….. 🙂 a lot of my favorite works…….. 🙂
