Original artwork description:

Summer in Kyiv is not very hot, but sometimes there are some hot days, like today, with +33 degrees Celsius. That's why many Kyiv residents head to Trukhaniv Island to sunbathe on the beach and swim in the Dnieper River. The water is refreshing and cool. Sometimes flocks of little fish swim close to the shore, and occasionally a police boat swiftly cuts through the water, creating waves to the delight of playful children. Nothing reminds us of the war except for the concrete blocks placed a little further along the shore, which can serve as shelter in case of an attack. And sometimes, armed military personnel patrol the area. I thought about how people with rifles slung over their shoulders evoke a sense of calmness and confidence, knowing that the situation is under control, and we can sunbathe and swim in the Dnieper fearlessly.

This etude was painted from life, located in Ukraine. The painting is executed with high-quality oil paints on sturdy cardboard.

This is an oil painting on cardboard measuring 24x30cm, or 10"x12"

The painting is sold unframed.

I send my pictures with the delivery by postal service Ukrposhta with EMS which means that they arrive in 7-14 days at any destination around the world.
There might be some delays due to the Russian aggression in Ukraine. However, postal services are still operational. As an artist, I continue working despite everything. Please, support us, Ukrainians! We are doing everything possible to ensure our country survives and remains democratic.
