My painting “Mother” received the 6th place in the American Art Awards.

RU:
Моя картина «Мать» получила 6-е место в American Art Awards.
Это была третья работа, которую я отправил уже без расчёта и ожиданий.
Просто захотелось показать её, хотя изначально планировал совсем другие картины.
Иногда именно такие, “спонтанные” вещи находят самый глубокий отклик.
Спасибо всем, кто почувствовал эту работу. 🌿

EN:
My painting “Mother” received the 6th place in the American Art Awards.
It was the third work I submitted — sent without any plan or expectation.
I just felt like sharing it, though it wasn’t among the paintings I had planned to send.
Sometimes it’s exactly those spontaneous pieces that touch people the most.
Thank you to everyone who felt something in it. 🌿
