Mauve. Flowers from my childhood. I grew up in Ukraine and you could always see these beautiful flowers near every house. They were tall, and I was small then. To get a better look at them, I had to tilt my head back. In front of me were bright flowers of pink, white, red, purple against the blue of the summer sky. In fact, this motif of the painting is childhood memories. An image that came to life on paper in my head as an adult comes from my childhood.
