30 Below Zero
I thought I would do a blog entry – anything to put off going outside to feed. It has been nasty and COLD this week. I’ve spent a lot of time outdoors feeding, shoveling and fixing. That is so much easier here in the summer, as long as you’re watching for rattlesnakes!

y first image is testimony to why I’m still sitting at the computer…our bunkhouse in the cold this week. The next are pieces from the Gallery Russia in Scottsdale. I always try to get to the Main Street galleries when I’m there, as I was a few weeks ago. The nude is a painting by a Russian artist, Laimodot Murnick from the 50’s. I am amazed by the color! The next piece is called “The Pickers” and is by Maija Eliase, also from the 50’s. The landscape is called “Snow in the Country”, by Valery Shmatko, 2002. These pieces impress me so, as do many of the classical Russian impressionist works. There is so much texture, vibrance and gutsy brushwork. These are, in my opinion, some great painters!
Laurie,
I also have always liked and am impressed by the Russian impressionist artists (yesterdays and todays)! Ed and I bought a painting in Paris (of Paris) by a Russian artist, and a smaller one in St Petersburg, Russia, of a snow scene with a small church (we love them).
Thank you for sharing,
Eli
Laurie, the picture of the bunkhouse in the cold is priceless. That little stretch of cold and a frozen water trough that created the need to haul water in buckets from the bathtub inspired some internet searches of property in Arizona. I will probably get over it but………….I love the Russian art, The Snow in the Country is most excellent. Janet
