Enchanted Doll inspired me to try a new technique. It's an etching. I sent you one of my etching works. I made everything by myself from A to Z. I hope you like it. I cut a picture on the plate (it takes most of the time), then put the colours on a cut picture on the plate, then put under a hand-made press and finally finished the picture with blushes and colors to make it's look finished.
I used oils, watercolours, and drawing in pencil before. One of my early works I sent to you too. I haven't any internet site with my works. And I didn't make my works in frames because I'm not sure that they can come safely in frames and under the glass. Also, I don't know what colours and styles of your home too to make frames you like.
I like to paint Russian nature with or without buildings, sometimes portraits. But not only nature inspired me. I think that the pictures of nature helps me to share my feelings and ideas in a better way. I paint all my life but I'm self-educated.
Sorry I'm not so great in English but I do my best not to make mistakes. My daughter helped me to translate
