The watercolor painting, "Portrait of a Grandmother," captures a tender and intimate moment frozen in time. The artwork presents a heartfelt tribute to the unspoken stories and wisdom carried by the elderly. With delicate strokes and muted hues, the artist skillfully depicts a scene filled with warmth and tranquility. At the center of the composition rests a cozy red armchair, providing a comfortable haven for the slumbering grandmother. Adorned in a soft brown jacket, she appears serene and content, embodying a lifetime of experiences. Her delicate features are accentuated by the artist's careful attention to detail, revealing the gentle lines etched on her face by the passage of time. A white shawl delicately envelops her head, its ethereal folds adding a touch of grace and elegance. The shawl, a symbol of tradition and heritage, honors the grandmother's wisdom and the ancestral knowledge she carries within. Though her eyes are closed in peaceful slumber, the glasses resting on her nose hint at a lifetime of reading and reflection. Against a backdrop of subdued gray, the artist expertly contrasts the softness of the subject. The muted tones evoke a sense of calm, allowing the viewer to focus solely on the grandmother's presence and the emotions she evokes. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth to the painting, accentuating the contours of her face and enhancing the overall sense of realism. "Portrait of a Grandmother" serves as a poignant reminder of the irreplaceable role played by our elders in shaping our lives. Through this watercolor masterpiece, the artist invites us to reflect upon the beauty of age, the depth of human connections, and the importance of cherishing our loved ones.

About the artists: Alexander Arkadievich Litvinov was born on May 18, 1967 in the city of Lubny. He graduated from the Lubensk secondary school № 1. One of his favorite lessons was drawing. I was even more attracted by studies at an art school, where boys and girls were introduced to high art thanks to the wise teachers Vasily Semenyuta, Anatoly Kharchuk, Nikolai Korablev, Tamara Moshnikoviy. Especially in his artistic development, Alexander owes to Vasily Ivanovich Semenyuta, his classical school of teaching, which he enriched in his time through his acquaintance with famous artists Alexei Asaulenko and Petr Likhin. And also an extremely important role in the passion for painting was played by the fact that Alexander's father, Arkady Petrovich Litvinov, was both a talented artist and an excellent teacher. He had 53 years of teaching experience - he taught drawing and drawing at the Lubensk school №8, many of his students connected their professions with artistic creativity. Alexander's elder brother, Oleg Arkadyevich Litvinov, a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, now lives in Odessa, also chose the artistic path.
And after leaving school, Alexander served in the army, where his artistic talent came in handy - in Soviet times, visual agitation was highly valued. He served in Dnepropetrovsk, where two personal exhibitions of his paintings were organized. While still at school, Alexander began to design books, in particular, children's literature. He received his first creative fee in the tenth grade from the publishing house "Raduga" for the design of the book by Anatoly Rybakov "Krosh's Vacation". Later she studied at the Odessa Theater and Art School, specializing in "Decoration of puppet shows and artistic and props art."
Studying at the school and passion from childhood with historical and biblical literature greatly influenced the creative manner of the artist. He works in the style of the so-called figurative art, where the main thing is the image of the human body.
