Again in touch with you, my readers
I didn’t close my site as planned.
I stay here until 2020 ends with its curiosities
Over the past year, I have released a short film,,Angels,, I wrote you about earlier.
This short film is about the support of Ukraine and the warmth of family ties between Ukraine, Latvia and Canada.
This is the debut of a small but strong team and Astra Production Center
Really strong team for this time.
In general, the first pancake flew out. And it is called ,, Angels ,,
I presented the film at many festivals in 2020.
I admit I was delighted to receive the awards for him.
Show some of them in photo up
My team that worked on the film is worth such awards.
Little 3-year-old Maya played her role perfectly. She calmly kept herself in the frame, posed, read her text well.
5-year-old Sonya, a wonderful skater and an excellent student, the second main character in the film, also played her role perfectly.
And we can already say with confidence that both girls in the future, if they continue their career as actresses, will be successful.
Now the film runs through the festivals, as it should be with.
Today I was officially invited to New York Istanbul Short Film Festivale by a letter from the organizers of the festival.
I hold my fists, I want to get a prize, because it is worth the awards.

New short film being prepared for the release.
It is a comedy about a mini dog chihuahua Mimmy.
I have already written about her and will write further.
There are several places in Toronto where I like to return.
One of them is Fort York, my center of gravity.
There are original War of 1812 buildings and 1813 battle site.Located in downtown.
Having got there once on the Open Day Toronto in May, every year I return there with pleasure.
History of Fort York starts from the moment when John Graves Simcoe ordered the construction of a garrison on the present site of Fort York in 1793.
Simcoe wanted to establish a naval base at Toronto in order to control Lake Ontario.
In his capacity as lieutenant-governor of the British province of Upper Canada, Simcoe also moved the provincial capital to Toronto from the vulnerable border town of Niagara during that tense period. Toronto was renamed ‘York,’ civilian settlement followed the government, and the settlement began to grow. During those early years, Fort York played a significant role in the economic and social development of the small backwoods community.
In 1807, Anglo-American relations began to deteriorate. In 1812, the United States declared war and invaded Canada. On 27 April 1813, the U.S. Army and Navy attacked York with 2700 men on fourteen ships and schooners, armed with eighty-five cannon. The defending force of 750 British, Canadians, Mississaugas, and Ojibways had twelve cannon.
The Americans stormed ashore west of the fort under the cover of their naval guns. The defenders put up a strong fight, but fell back to Fort York from the landing site in the face of overwhelming odds. The British commander, Major-General Sir Roger Sheaffe, then retreated eastward and blew up the fort’s gunpowder magazine (located near today’s Memorial Area). The explosion was devastating: 250 Americans fell dead or wounded from its blast, including their field commander, Brigadier-General Zebulon Pike. Total losses in the six-hour battle were 157 British and 320 Americans.
The Mississaugas and Ojibways withdrew into the forest, Sheaffe’s professional troops retreated to Kingston, and the local militia surrendered the town. The Americans occupied York for six days. They looted homes, took or destroyed supplies, and burned Government House and the Parliament Buildings (near today’s Front and Parliament streets). In 1814, the British retaliated when they captured Washington and burned the White House, Capitol, and other public buildings.
The Americans returned to a defenceless York in July 1813 to burn barracks and other buildings that they missed in April. Shortly afterwards, the British rebuilt Fort York on what is both today’s and Simcoe’s original site. In August 1814, Fort York was strong enough to repel the U.S. squadron when it again tried to enter Toronto Bay. In February 1815, word reached York that the War of 1812 had ended the previous December. It was good news: peace had returned, and the defence of Canada against American invasion had been successful.
The British continued to garrison Fort York after the war, although most soldiers moved to new barracks one kilometre west of the fort in 1841. (The officers’ barracks of that ‘New Fort’ or ‘Stanley Barracks’ survives today.) During times of peace, Fort York’s defences were allowed to deteriorate, only to be strengthened in periods of crisis, such as the Rebellion Crisis of 1837–41, or when war with the United States seemed imminent, such as in 1861–62.
In 1870, the Canadian government assumed responsibility for most of the country’s defences, including Fort York. Canadian troops maintained the harbour defences at the fort until its guns and earthworks became obsolete in the 1880s. The army, however, did not abandon the site at that time, but used it for training, barracks, offices, and storage until the 1930s. Some military activity even took place at Fort York during World War II.
Between 1932 and 1934, the City of Toronto restored Fort York to celebrate the centennial of the incorporation of the city in 1834. On Victoria Day 1934, Fort York opened as a historic site museum. Today, its defensive walls surround Canada’s largest collection of original War of 1812 buildings. Even the older part of the one reconstructed building on the site, the Blue Barracks, contains a significant amount of 1814-period material and is an interesting example of the efforts made during the Great Depression to create employment by restoring and rebuilding historic sites.
Today this place is one of the favorite places in Toronto.On annual festivals here gather from all Ontario and Canada.
Here lives the history of the city.
On the maps you can see the path of hunters, which passed through Toronto to America.
There are exhibits of weapons, household utensils, telling about the life and life of that period.
It is very interesting when the military march and demonstrate how to use weapons.
On holidays you can see dances that show different dance groups and collectives on the territory of the museum.
……………………….I returned to paint landscapes and drew boats among the sea. Then I had a little color block, I added everything red. Added.Plus :0 More 🙂 Until I got what you see.
I like it………………………………
I can remain silent for a long time in social networks. It’s not because I have nothing to say. I am a very hardworking person.
It means that I’m doing something.
……………….Also this winter landscape was drawn among the heat and hot summer.
why? Do not ask, this presence is red. There is also a red color.:)……………………………….
In the course of a last long weekend I drew more than 10 paintings.
…………………………….I touched on a topic that started a few years ago-a woman and a violin.
I got four wonderful paintings.
I today sign them with pleasure…………………………………………………..
I am very pleased with this result and I sit with pleasure and sign more my work. 🙂 For the artist this is the coolest time of creating a picture. To sign your work is to finish it. It means that I agree with everything that is painted there, with light, color, contrast and plot.
What I am showing today is not everything. What have I done. Very interesting stories appeared in my head. They revolve around the works of the artist Gustav Klimt.
………………..In the favorite I have the latest contrasting drawings of the modern style…………………..
You will see my work very soon. And right now I just sit and enjoy. I sign my work with pleasure.
I liked working with red.
This color revived my paintings.
They began to burn in canvas.
I will continue to create this color.
…………….I liked drawing faces.
The truth is, they do not always work for me in the model way, as you would like.
But who else can draw so awfully,, Sleeping,, like me?……………………..
I published all the work on my website.
Only some of them I put on sale on the Artfinder.com and Saatchiart.com.
How is it so good to sit like this,to drink coffee and put the signature on already born paintings.
