I laughed out loud when I read your response! Your kindness has made my day. :-) And what a boost to both of our egos that my preference was for your new work! My best teacher once told me, in response to starting, "just start painting fast and furiously" That's what I do now. It works great! I make lots of mistakes from which to learn, and I don't waste a lot of time "angsting" over how to begin. There are also so many fabulous accidents that occur and I embrace. It seems that most of the paintings are made up of accidental marks.

Valery, I can't tell you how much I appreciated your discussion thread and also appreciate your comment to me both private and on the thread. Thank you. I think your statement regarding your own art is so elegant. And I love the mark-making/brushwork in the 2 paintings of the men with their hands to their ear/s, the painting preceding them and the one of the boys just following them. I'm astonished by your ability to render fabric. I enjoy your content-driven work! It's very smart.

I wondered about one line in your statement:
"It appears, an organic form has a potential of transforming any closed space into a living entity that continually gives part of its vital energy to the people who use it. In contrast to that, a non-organic form, for example, - the one based on a rectangular shape, - dramatically reduces the amount of this vital energy."

I wonder why you assert, with what theological proof you say so assuredly, that the non-organic form dramatically reduces the amount of vital energy? You may be correct, but I didn't see that this conclusion was the logical one in contrasting the first part of the paragraph. It got me thinking, "maybe yes, maybe no." Wonder if you would have interest in elaborating?

Kind Regards,
Kate Vrijmoet

Privet Valery! Spasibo za teplye slova. Thank you for the warm words about my work. Incredible technique skills in your paintings! Greetings, Alex

And thankyou to you too, Valery ..
The work of a painter like yourself is masterly, grand ..
"Image" work and digital photography like mine belong to a different (minor) register .. I would say

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I am very impressed by your work. It is both classic and modern at the same time. I can see that you are interested in textures like me.
Kindest regards.
