I would do more pencil drawings, but I cannot help: I love color too much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spend outdoors most days from April to November: not only gardening, but also sketching and painting.

to draw and paint nature inspired subjects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I prefer being inspired by the actual things I am drawing and painting, therefore, having numerous plants, flowers and trees around helps tremendously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is also the reason I\u2019m not painting figures and portraits during the recent years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subjects I enjoy painting in the recent years are still

The part of Canada where I reside, near Toronto, has similar climate and nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why Latvia? That\u2019s because I relocated from there 19 years ago at not that young age. By the time I arrived in Canada, I was a well-established artist in Europe, yet, here I started practically from new again. You cannot take much with you in one suitcase, but that was the beginning after relocating to Canada: using a few brushes and watercolor set which I had taken with me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
