Artist's Comments

Crows fluttered 'round their chosen Princess in a slow procession through the forest. Their King awaited his new bride.

ACEO size 2.5x3.5 inch watercolor

Russian art doesn't get enough notice and most art history books ignore it. Here's a nice collection of 19th and 20th century paintings: [link]
In particular I like Ilya Repin, Ivan Billibin, Nesterov, and Vasnetsov. When I was visited Japan I found a catalog from a Moscow gallery in a used bookstore. I always thought Russian Laquer painting was a really neat style. If you're interested in there's a beatiful children's book called "The Magic Nesting Doll" by illustrator Laurel Long.

I like this one, and I shall have to check out some of the Russian folk tales. I am sure they would make lovely ballets. :)

Wonderful detail, as always but the most appealing thing is the gentle movement of her right hand :)
