Vysoká tráva Karpat (Tall Grass of the Carpathians)

Description

In Ukraine, I painted a series of watercolors titled “The Ukrainian Carpathians.” I painted from life or from my own photos. I’m in Ukraine very rarely, and nature is constantly changing. That’s why I really wanted to capture this exact moment. Maybe in a year, something will be different: new areas of cleared forest, or, conversely, a new young forest. And only the mountains remain unchanged, changing their appearance. The painting “Tall Grass of the Carpathians” was painted from a photograph taken by my mother. She captured this moment while sitting in this tall grass. It was she who asked me to paint this picture, which is the first in this series.  Fabriano paper, 300 g/m².
