I painted this still-life from nature as a multi-layer oil painting.
The painting shows various items associated with Russian culture and country life. The composition is dominated by an old bronze samovar (a Russian traditional tea pot) surrounded by a porcelain Gzhel-style tea pot, a Zhostovo tray, Pavlovo-Posad shawls, breads and other items characteristic of Russian country life.
