This piece was painted in January and it shows place where i grow up. I was soooo lucky and had perfect childhood in this huge garden. When i look at kids today i feel a bit pity for them not having opportunity to climb trees, play seek-and-hide. The house in the background was build from the ground by my grandfather. We move out after his death. Now it has new owner, but we still own garden so i could depict my growing up place.
When i was painting there was really cold, paint was getting stiff, and even i had 2 pairs of pants and 2 sweaters it was impossible sit without movement. I needed to put color quickly and boldly. Later, in my studio just few strokes of color were added from memory.
