Ukrainian Oil Painting: Bees to Honey

Slava Ukraini! In an effort to support Ukraine’s independent artisans and small shops, I have brought in a variety of hand-made craft directly from Ukraine. Lena Vylusk was born in the Donetsk region, and her oil paintings put characters, mostly animal, in unusual environments so the viewer can see their story in her work. Her pieces combine realism with the surreal. Lena often features delicate china tea cups in her work, often stacked precariously. In this piece, the teacup holds mounds of ice cream drizzled with honey, attracting bees. Original and one of a kind oil painting on canvas with silver-painted edges.
