Baltic Breach

Baltic Beach, acrylic, Mylar 32x24 is my second painting based on the old black and white pictures I brought back from my trip to Moscow. Let's call it a series now. The Old Photos series. What do I want to achieve? Definitely not the realistic affect of an old black and white photo. To me it is a trip to the past, some of which I may not even remember. In this picture my brother, mother and I are walking along the Baltic beach. My father is taking this photo. It was such a happy time for all of us! I must be ten or eleven there; Serezha thirteen or fourteen. My mother was the prettiest woman at the beach, never self-conscious of it, consumed with her children and husband. It was the time of  harmony. I want to do another take on this shot. I am interested in showing how at that moment both mother and brother are looking at me. I always liked sharing my thoughts with the others. They seem to be really interested....
