Hi Joshua,

You know what I was thinking when I looked at the second picture of the painting that you sent me?

You probably know that Krym used to be the Florida for all Soviet citizens + Your painting reminded me of the old post-cards advertising the vacation spot + it's strange. I can't explain the feeling, but the name Krym really matches the light colors, the motion and multiple particles of the painting. When I look at it, I see a sunny day with the wind, hundreds of people and salty water. Great job :)

Have a grand day tomorrow and I will see you on Monday,
Elena
