This painting by Katya Alexeeva brings serenity of nature to this little hallway, providing focal point and dimension to an otherwise empty passageway. Thanks to this painting, the eye is now not blunted by blank wall, but invited, as through a window, to bask in final days of summer’s warmth along lakeshore, reminding me of wonderful days from childhood. One of the things I love about this painting is how Katia skillfully used color to precisely portray the season. As soon as I saw this painting, I knew it was not spring, not summer, not simply autumn, but those final days of warmth just before the chilly days move in to stay.
