Happy Monday!

Victory day

Every year I feel home sick on this day. Not because I am a patriot of any kind. I want to be around people who feels deep in their hearts pain and loss, joy and gratitude to our grand parents for saving so many countries from Nazis.
I worked on this sketch with these bitter-sweet feelings and thoughts. Spring arrived to Catskills!

Version # 3

Usually I get bored when I work on a drawing couple of days in a row.
And yes, it was boring :)

Spring is slowing reaching us up in the mountains

Sunset light and colors

It became somewhat difficult to walk with this little munchkin. He wants to go not necessarily where we want him to go. Anyway, I am cherishing every moment of these Spring days.

Deja Vu

Today I returned to the same spot where I painted last Saturday. It does not happen too often that the weather stays the same for both sessions. Needless to say that it is almost impossible to arrange for a second plein air session. I lucked out!
