Birch Grove. 60 x 80 cm, oil on canvas.
Here are a few more paintings from my two weeks in Plyos, Russia. The weather has been really uncooperative, with rain and/or wind pretty much everyday.
Green Noise is the name of the cultural exchange event here in Plyos. This year is eight ‘Italian’ plein air painters working together with eight Russian artists. The exhibition of our work opened yesterday and will be on display until mid-October.

We went out as a group to paint nocturnes in the rain on a few occasions.

Below is the updated version of the trinket seller, I needed to change the value on her shawl.

We had a lot of fun in the evenings, drinking vodka with the Russian artists and discussing painting and painters. There are a lot of great artists working today in Russia and I’ll post some links to their work in the future.
In the meantime, here is a short video of us painting in the common room one evening:

You should be very, very pleased with Birch Grove. I wish I could see the original.
Marc:
What trinkets does the trinket-seller sell? Just curious. Love your work!
Marc,
The birch groove is really stunning! amazing variety of subtle greens! My only wish- (I really don’t know whether i can request you this) can you please put some higher resolution pics of the works? it would be a great aid in learning for ppl like me!
Regards.
Super dope pieces man… I am also curious as to what trinkets they sell… I can’t imagine…
I’m afraid I didn’t notice what she was selling. There were some beaded bracelets hanging off of a wire, but I didn’t see what was on the table.
I gave her some money for posing and she brought me a bag of apples later while I was painting.
Birch Grove is terrific. For me up there with Levitan and Schmid (can’t imagine he wasn’t inspired by Levitan’s great work!).
