"Roses from the Garden". Painting for My Friend. Oil, canvas 60x70.

in #art5 years ago

Today I would like to show you a painting - gift for my friend.

Originally I am from Togliatti, Samara region. When I was 20, I moved to Moscow.
It was difficult to find job when I moved as it was crisis at that time and I worked in one advertising agency which was located in the hotel "Kosmos" ("Space") for just 200$ for 12 hours working day. It was 1998-1999.

I knew almost nobody in Moscow and I when I was picking up a guest downstairs suddenly I met a girl we studied together in Togliati. It was a gift of a heaven.

Since that time we became friends.

I tried to paint starting from 2004. And with my studio we went to Anapa (The Black sea) for open air. In the garden of the house where we stayed there were beautiful roses. We were painting them in the break.

And I gave those roses to my friend for her birthday.

Recently I visited her at her place and I was kinda disappointed looking at those roses, so I took them to repaint a little bit.

Here is the result:
Too bad I didn't make a painting before to compare)))

I wish you a great day

Do you redo paintings you don't like?
