Enough of realism. Here is something produced only by imagination of your humble artist. My eyes have never seen it, but I have. It is a very deep mountain lake of dark blue water, shaped in a form of a sand clock. The shores are covered with huge pieces of fire colored volcano rock. Wisps of mist float in the shade of high hills, blue and rose in the 5 o'clock light. Some water plants drift silently on the undisturbed surface of the lake that does not reflect the sky, but only shows the depths of cold indigo blue water. So have I seen it.
I said that "Angel" was my thirst picture since childhood, that is not perfectly true. The first picture was a wall painting in the kitchen of my family's moscow apartment. It depicted on the first plane a white mouse and a black cat sitting at a red stone table, smoking pipes. There is a pine-like tree growing to the left of them, a river flowing behind them, and ending in waterfall to their right. In the third plane is a valley, framed by steep step mountains formed of colorful volcanic rock. On one of the steps of the right mountain, there stands a house, and deep down in the valley a man is resting on a stone. The third stone at the red table is reserved for him. The white mouse and the black cat are waiting for the man to join them. What they will talk about I do not know, but sure it will be a pleasant conversation, as it always is among old friends.
The valley ends into the ocean. A peninsula can be seen in a far off distance. Big water is calm in the bay, reflecting the light grey clouds coming from the horizon.
