Coffee Splash! - Detail

Once there was an idea to paint cherry, well it didn’t go too well. The inspiration of this idea has passed away, but unfinished painting was kept as unnecessary stuff.

Unfinished Cherry Painting

Later on Nov. I was inspired of Photography by Siebe

Home brewed Cookie Splash! with Starbucks Coffee!

Here by the way a video-explanation/tutorial for ones who want to take cookie splash photo -

So I decided to use this canvas another time, ’cause I am pretty sure, I will not return to finish this one.

It took 3 days to get this work done. I am pretty glad with what I got. However I think it could be better, but I always have these thoughts on the background of my consciousness.

I listening to something when I am painting music/movies, this time it was series – Battle Star Galactica. I’ve watched it already once, but I like to watch movie twice, at second time I usually notice some additional details.

And the finished one:

Oh, I know well this story.
It is from Yulia’s childhood, when we were constantly fantasizing, inventing stories about her toys, as living beings. There was a lot of characters among her toys. We always were continuing and continuing our fantasies during our free time, whether when we were doing something, or were walking.
There was one wonderfull personage, with name Tuzello, he is very, very, very talanted boy, and always has a huge amount of ideas (Like Yulia). And all his ideas were Great (not just great but Great or GREAT). And idea for this painting was one of such Great ideas of Tuzello. In our “imaginarium” he had a wonderful photo session taken at a beautiful green meadow. The cute girls with the paper planes on the grass.
And now I see Yulia on this grass with these paper planes. All is so bright, so nice, like our stories, our fantasies of that time. May be it is a nostalgia for our fantasies, or simply bright memories from that time, and it still leaves in her mind. Though…I think I need rephrase: she still lives in this fantstic world. And it is so wonderfull. I wish that she lived there always. ’cause it is a kind, good world with interesting things and events, sometimes with impossible changes in the lives of the personages.
Anyway it is very beautiful: Redhaired girl and white paper plans on the bright grass. I love it so much.

And for saving time I was using projector to convey the image on the surface of the canvas.

Idea for this painting came to me accidentally. When I was checking photos of Natalia Vodyanova ( top-model).

Firstly I thought to use a small white kitten and so I could have a connection with last year painting “Sad Kitten“. But anyway I don’t have and never had a WHITE kitten. So I decided to stop on second option to use Sky. Option with Sky let me connect this painting with toy series of works with name “Lines of Me”. In which I am trying to show some my lines through the image of one of my fluffy. So Sky was next in line to be painted. But lately after I already finished this work I understood that choice of Sky is also good. Sky as a personage is always telling truth and never lies. So the second part of painting title “Naked Truth” is telling about this line of Sky/me.

I had a very very very busy day on Friday July 09 but I anyway found 2 hours to change my hair, which lol was dirty and to take pics specially for this work. Of course I do not like that much to paint my self-portraits by pics, but this one is better this way.

This is yesterday night 11 p.m. 6 hours before it was done…

Same time close-up, was taken for discussing it with mom.

Olya: This painting is something new for Yulia art. New style, new vision. Anyway, when I first time saw it I really understood it is not style of Yulia, but when I looked to Camomile I felt it is her hand, because Chamomile strangely reminds me of her. Anyway I feel a lot of expression and passion. It is like the huge amount of colors. Slender vase as opposite to huge bouquet of flowers. And young painter with huge amount of feelings, emotions, colors and passion. That is how I feel about this still-life.

Yulia: This is a third painting from my Toy Collection – Lines of Me. Main character here as you may see is my cat Gwen. She has a twin bro teddy bear with name Stefan/Stephan. They got names after Gwen Stefani.

In this painting I was trying to use a volume effect, to make objects not just painted but let them have a real volume. So for that I used a paint base and for some cactuses I used rice.
