Sunset in Uskoe Park. Moscow. February, 2011. Oil on canvas, 35x50cm.

Moscow Park Uskoe. It is amazing that all you need to do to find yourself in a quiet place without the noise of the big city is take an eight minute walk from Metro Konkovo.
This is special place for my wife and me. We enjoyed our time together there by talking a walk. On one sunny day when the sun was going down, (it's getting dark at 4 during winter time in Moscow) we saw a beautiful view. The colors of the sunset were bright and alive, snow was reflecting interesting colors. I think everyone would notice the beauty of nature if they would see something similar to that. I personally truly enjoy nature when I can put my impressions on the canvas. Even then I don't feel satisfaction because I can not fully transmit what is inside. When it happens I better understand what Dostoevsky said: "I am now reading over what I have just written, and I see that I am much cleverer than what I have written. How is it that what is expressed by a clever man is much more stupid than what is left in him?"..
