Chinese painting

When I said I started to paint in 2009 it was not completely true. My first attempt was with chinese painting; I began to admire it in 2003 when I visited an exhibition of Wang Liushi. She is a former Russian lady (now Canadian) who is a real master of chinese ink.
I myself began to learn chinese painting in 2004 but in some time I understood that I could not reconcile with the restrictions of this specific art (limited number of themes, ways you should make your brushstrokes etc.). I wanted to express more but I could not by means of guo-hua.
Besides, chinese painting was not forgiving to mistakes, to little shake of the brush, to your  mind distracted (just a little bit) by a phone call or a child's cry. I had to start a single work over and over again.
So... right now you can look through my works and maybe understand what I am saying. All paintings are done in 2004-2005.
