A Fisher Girl, by Ilya Repin, 1874 (wikiart.org.)

I apologize for not posting for a long time. I was asked to prepare a “protection mandate” and a Will. I am told that it is ordinary business. However, if at all possible, I will take care of my cat until nature takes him away. He will be eleven in April. I will also take care of myself.

However, I’ve not been idle. I have been comparing the Western Church, Catholicism’s Virgin Mary in particular, and the Eastern Church’s Theotokos, the Birth-Giver of God.

This subject is a little more complicated than one would suspect. The two Churches are both united and different.

I will publish my post as soon as my cat lets me use the computer’s keyboard.

Nikolai Lugansky plays Rachmaninoff‘s Études-Tableaux, Opus 33

Forget-me-nots, Isaac Levitan, Rachmaninoff, Spirituality

Forest violets and forget-me-nots by Isaac Levitan, 1889 (Wikiart.org)

We associate artist Isaac Ilyich Levitan (30 August 1860 – 4 August 1900: aged 40) with mood or lyrical landscapes, but he also left lovely paintings featuring flowers.

I am very tired and must rest, but I am thinking of you.

Love to everyone 💕

The music is Rachmaninoff‘s (1873 – 1943)

Rachmaninoff Vespers – 3 Blessed is the Man (Psalm 1)

Nikolay Anokhin, born in 1966, is a contemporary artist.  He studied at the Moscow Art School and the Surikov Moscow Art Institute.  His mentors were Aleksei Mikhailovich Gritsai (1914–1998) and from Sergei Tkachev (McCarthey Gallery).  Anokhin‘s work is displayed in Russia and abroad.  It is representational and includes many landscapes, which is typical of Russian art.

Genre painting

Not only is this painting the work of a talented and well-trained artist, but the content has appeal to home lovers.  It features a chimney or stove, a lovely child, and, perched above the stove, a cat.  Because it is a scene from familiar life, this painting could be referred to as genre painting.

House Pets

Have you noted how often paintings include domestic animals.  In aristocratic homes, the pet tends to be a very small dog.  But Carl Larsson painted larger dogs.  The dogs may have been larger because they had room to roam.
