END OF SUMMER...

My dear friends,

Time to summarize this incredible, warm, sweet, full of success and surprises summer.

Where should I start ?

First I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my friends, family and mentors: my support system people. Thank you for all of your Love, trust and help!

This summer brought me great teaching and exhibiting opportunities.

I gained new talented students and have been invited to teach at Arts Umbrella in Bothell 

http://www.arts-umbrella.com/pages/emiliya.html

Classes started on September 5th and we still have spots available. 

Participation in two Plein Air art festivals was a fun, amusing and rewarding experience. 

At the Cle Elum “Fresh Air Artists” festival I was very happy to win Best of Show and to receive a second place ribbon. At "Paint the Peninsula", the first annual Plein Air festival in Port Angeles, I won Best of Show for my painting "Drifting" and took second place in a quick draw competition for "Merlot". As The Best of Show winner, in addition to a generous monetary award, I will have the honor of having "Drifting" become the image on the label of "Plein Air" – a Special Limited Vintage Wine produced for the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center by Camaraderie Cellars.

 “Drifting” will also be featured in next year’s promotional materials for the Plein Air Festival. 

I also received " A Quarter Page Advertising Award " in Plein Air Magazine. I am grateful to the organizers, generous sponsors and juror of this event Ned Mueller for being given this amazing opportunity to participate with all of the incredible artists that were there. I am happy, honored and privileged beyond imagination to compete and win.

Long time no see, guys.. And all because of a heavy plein air painting traveling and a workshop I took with Zhaoming Wu. I highly, highly recommend this workshop to professionals and experienced artists. I learned a lot. And I'm going to adapt and incorporate some of Zhaoming ideas and philosophies to my teaching. For me, it's all about paint application, brush strokes  calligraphy and a very strong attention to a color temperature shifts
. To watch him demoing  was a revelation and  highest joy. Here are my attempts to paint in a style of  Zhaoming Wu. I think I'm completely sold! I will integrate his approach into my own creative  expression.
I also met incredible, warm and open hearted group of people from all over this country! And THIS is a biggest blessing of my art adventure. I LOVE every second of it!  Enjoy and thank you for being part of this journey !!

Whidbey's Sunset

On this beautiful warm evening, when the Super Moon 2013 is spilling its cooling, indigo light upon us I wanted to pay tribute to Gabriel Garcia Marquez by posting his last letter. Don't wait until it's too late - LOVE YOUR LIFE and LOVE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!

The Puppet

If for a moment God would forget that I am a rag doll and give me a scrap of life, possibly I would not say everything that I think, but I would definitely think everything that I say.

I would value things not for how much they are worth but rather for what they mean.

I would sleep little, dream more. I know that for each minute that we close our eyes we lose sixty seconds of light.

I would walk when the others loiter; I would awaken when the others sleep.

I would listen when the others speak, and how I would enjoy a good chocolate ice cream.

If God would bestow on me a scrap of life, I would dress simply, I would throw myself flat under the sun, exposing not only my body but also my soul.

My God, if I had a heart, I would write my hatred on ice and wait for the sun to come out. With a dream of Van Gogh I would paint on the stars a poem by Benedetti, and a song by Serrat would be my serenade to the moon.

With my tears I would water the roses, to feel the pain of their thorns and the incarnated kiss of their petals...My God, if I only had a scrap of life...

I wouldn't let a single day go by without saying to people I love, that I love them.

I would convince each woman or man that they are my favourites and I would live in love with love.

I would prove to the men how mistaken they are in thinking that they no longer fall in love when they grow old--not knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love. To a child I would give wings, but I would let him learn how to fly by himself. To the old I would teach that death comes not with old age but with forgetting. I have learned so much from you men....

I have learned that everybody wants to live at the top of the mountain without realizing that true happiness lies in the way we climb the slope.

I have learned that when a newborn first squeezes his father's finger in his tiny fist, he has caught him forever.

I have learned that a man only has the right to look down on another man when it is to help him to stand up. I have learned so many things from you, but in the end most of it will be no use because when they put me inside that suitcase, unfortunately I will be dying.

"Oriental Wind" oil on linen, 20x16

It's hard to acknowledge, but I was struggling with this portrait and almost give up. Nevertheless  following my own credo "Never give up" and remembering how much I wanted to paint this model , I  finally nailed it . Rachel is an incredibly talented student of mine, beautiful, smart and sweet kid . The Haiku I wrote is on Russian. Approximate translation will be something like that :
Oriental Winds bring aromas of exotic spices - Smell of Cinnamon and Lilies waken sensation of dry  warm  and sweet air  on my lips ...It's premonition of first Love"..
This painting is for sale, and as always free shipping available.
