People can't be alone. They're like birds looking for a mate. They gather in flocks-families and build nests-cities. People regret, that they can't fly like cranes.

Sometimes happiness is so near: it passes us by without a backward glance; or it eludes us with a fleeting smile . Can be is worth to shout - " turn around, I here! "

This is another of my recently completed works. I executed it on primed watercolor canvas "Malevich", using watercolor paints, synthetic brushes (№№ 20, 7, 3), graphic pencil and eraser.

I would also like to share an important event in my life. I became a student of the Russian Academy of arts named after Repin in St. Petersburg. This higher education institution in the field of fine arts, which was founded by Peter the Great in 1757 and still it is one of the leading in the field of academic education in the world. Students from different countries gain here knowledge and skills in the field of painting, sculpture and architecture.

I've been training hard all summer. The admissions office, I submitted my 25 drawings, some of them I showed here on Steemit. Of course it was a pure adventure on my part, because I do not even have a primary art education, but I still decided to take a chance. I understood that my chances are very small, but my principle is to learn from the best. I was accepted to the course of academic drawing and painting.

The last two weeks have been the most stressful for me, so I've been inactive here in the community. For this reason, my friends and followers did not receive any votes or comments from me. But now the slight shock was behind me, my emotions came back to normal, I was finally able to just sleep and relax. In a few days my classes will begin in art workshops and then I will be able to share with you more often my works, my failures and successes.

I am so grateful to all of You for your support during this difficult time for me. I would not want to call individual names to not wary of offending someone their inattention. Your comments or just silent support gave me the opportunity to believe in my strength and go forward.
I am grateful to Art-Venture magazine and its founder @stef1 for regular shows of my drawings. This allowed me to show my work to a much larger number of viewers and meet such talented people. It was like a good credit of trust for me.
Special thanks to such curatorial projects as @OCD, @c-squared, @helpie,@curie, @qurator . Your visits to my blog and such powerful support have always been very valuable to me.
A special thank you I want say @englishtchrivy. You told me a few words this spring, at a time when I was about to leave the platform Steemit. In the life of every person can appear people or events that can change a lot. Your words were a good kick, like a good jolt for me, otherwise nothing of what I am writing now would have happened perhaps ever.
In my 2.8 years here on the platform, I've read a lot of stories about how Steemit can change lives. But now, by my own example, I felt it. The impossible is possible! Stay positive, see you soon ...
Я очень за тебя рада, Мариночка! Желаю тебе творческого вдохновения, упорства, терпения и много радостных мгновений от творчества!
У тебя большой потенциал и есть усердие и талант. Мне очень нравятся твои работы, а эта новая больше других. В них прямо чувствуется жизнь и полёт фантазии...
I am very happy for you, Marinochka! I wish you creative inspiration, perseverance, patience and many joyful moments of creativity!
Of course, congratulations on such an important event in your life.
I look forward to your new works and bright impressions from teachers.
I hope that the video you will do, I'm also learning, and I will be very interesting to listen to the best masters of painting, and to see how you draw on-line.
You have great potential and you have diligence and talent.
I really like your work, and this new one more than others.
It just feels like life and flight of fancy...
Thank You, Svetlana! Pleased know Your opinion and Your assessment me, too, is important as opinion the viewer. To say that I am happy about this event is like saying nothing.
