Icy Spring

0.0 x 0.0

2015 acrylic on canvas 40 x 50 cm This is the very beginning of spring in Moscow, when days get longer and the sun warmer, as it shines down from behind the tall bulky but silvery clouds that build up in the sky, created by the invisible vapors streaming upwards from the ground still covered by snow.  The thawing snow freezes again at night as the temperature drops, and sometimes the cold returns and lasts for days. The icy coating on the ground reflects the bright sunshine and throws it around and onto the dark walls, and the beams bounce back from shiny windows.  In a yard between residential buildings a small sports ground can sometimes be found, with net fencing decorated by rainbow-colored garlands of small flags, which flicker in the wind and, when lighted by sunbeams, look like multi-color hard candy drops.
