Some of the early paintings remind me of Escher, especially he had one with birds. However on seeing those painting in context to all the others I can see, as you have suggested, that this specific kind of bird seems to be the artist's motif. And they are able to do interesting thing with it. I did like the bird flying in winter too. However I have to agree with you that the Black Sea painting is gorgeous. It looks wonderful even through the photo, so I can but imagine how it must have looked up in real life. Thank you once again for taking us on these exhibitions.
I'm glad to read your comment and see you appreciate these paintings and understand them as well. There were quite a few excellent ones, among which the Black Sea and the winter scene with the bird.
I'm hoping to bring more amazing exhibition related content soon. Stay tuned :)
