A very busy month, as I already informed you in the previous post. Lots of preparations for subsequent presentations, participation in competitions, participation in Christmas markets.
It is nice to be at Christmas markets, which are very intense this year. Thanks to such events, I visited several places in Ontario.
This year, as last year, I presented to my fans a series of new Christmas balls, painted in the Petrykivka style.
There were a lot of people at the exhibitions. It is impossible to say that they are not interested in this. Many people with pleasure and delight came to my table, touched, admired, bought.
I was so carried away by their creation that I could not stop myself even after the last Christmas market. I like to create New Year’s balls.
This work is very painstaking. A small stroke of paint in the wrong direction, and all the work is in vain. When you hang the ball to dry, you need to be especially careful not to touch the surface that has not yet dried and not to touch the drawing. Then the drawing will be distorted, which is very difficult to remove. Well, and special attention to the smallest products – they are so small that their creation takes additional time and knowledge of technology.
Now Christmas has come and the bazaars are over. Everything that is left is collected and hidden until next year.
I would like to note several of the brightest bazaars.
After being selected by a jury, my Christmas balls were sold to several Toronto galleries. They were featured for sale at the Art Etobicoke Christmas Gift Sale Shop Up.

There were a lot of artists and craftsmen from Etobicoke represented and it was a very interesting, creative exhibition.
The next such exhibition will be held in the spring. I am already preparing for it.
