The orange still life

The orange still life - my favorite still life from Art academy. At that moment was born my own painting style. I look at it and see me.
I remember when i painted it, famous teacher of painting, Maksimikhin said: “put the brushes aside, otherwise you will ruin it. It is already brilliant” I was proud because he was really strict.

Back then, in 2005, I spoke very clearly that I wanted to paint my own life. No. Then the road led somewhere a little in the other direction.
