Snowed in and my model snowed out I love looking at art and especially work with color. I think the painting "Lay and Pierrot" is a lovely exploration of my color favorites- lavenders and red violets. I think it escaped the fate of a greeting card look. It is just delicious and reminds me of my crocusses now buried under 3 feet of snow. It also is the color way of my next painting.
While looking up some information on Mr. Somov I was struck at the range of this Russian artist -his mastery of many genres- familiar of Diagilev. He eventually moved to Paris. I find his work gorgeous, his draftmanship sensitive and his color nonpareil.

| "Lady and Pierrot" |

"Lady In Blue" It took him two years to paint her. |
 |
| "Sergei Rachmaninoff" Mens portraits can be dull, but Somov's mastery of color elevates this with the simple touch of deeper periwinkle tie against the lively yellow greens of the foliage. |

| "Ploughed" " His landscapes are subtle and beatifully colored. |
