Back home

We went to visit my Grandparents, who live near the Black Sea.
I live there when I was child and now I'm coming back every spring.

We didn't take any digital camera with us.
Only Bronica and sketching tools.
And I made some Instagram photos with my smartphone. (I'm mahasitha there)
It was amazing three weeks I spend with Martha and Olex together.

I was on oil painting workshop several weeks ago.
It was amazing!
And here is my painting:

Martha's pictures

Martha likes to draw. If I need some time for myself I can give her painting stuff and she will be busy for an hour or some times even more :-) I just need to give her new paper every 15 minutes :-)

Her best for now is this crow. Someone draw the Sun and Martha paint that crow near it.

Snowfall in late march

In the end of March there was an abnormal snowfall in Kyiv, Ukraine. The city was absolutely paralyzed  for several days.
That days everyone remembered "The day after tomorrow" movie :-) Cars and first flours of buildings was covered by snow. Roads, yards... everything under snow.
In the center of the city was no cars, but a lot of snow, so the most popular "transport" was ski or snowboard :-)
I made some charcoal sketches of our "snow Apocalypse".

Totoro

Martha likes "My Neighbor Totoro"
Totoro and Catbus are her favorite characters and she wants me to draw them all the time :-)

When it was snow we even build Totoro snowmen :-)

Unfortunately we have only this dark instagram photo:

new sketches

My notebook was broken for three weeks.
But now I'm here at least :-)
And here are my new sketches.

Olex and Martha :-) I like to save moments like this in my sketchbook.
