Winter Pictures by Andrey Repnikov

Looking at the paintings by Russian artist Andrew Repnikov it seems that it is a set of old postcards. They are landscapes, situations, views. At the same time one could say that Repnikov's works are folkloric and very modern too.
Repnikov never learned the art. He is as they say, a nugget. He paints Russian landscapes and urban views, monasteries and palaces, people and streets. 

However, people fell in love with his series of humorous pictures.


I've chosen some Repnikov's winter pictures to introduce you to him, the first ones are urban and nature landscapes and then some humorous pictures.




These 'postcards' by the nugget Andrey Repnikov to my friends bloggers! 
What picture would you like to choose?

    1. Andrew paints snow as drops, like picture # 10. The first one is idyllic, isn't it Sue?

  3. Hello Nadezda, this is the kind of paintings I love - I have not much time for abstract paintings where you have to guess what the motif is - these on the other hand are lovely, descriptive with a touch of humour. Absolutely adorable :-)

    Thank you very much for sharing, Nadezda, and have a lovely February.

    1. I especially placed the first four painting in such order, Sara. Glad you understood them, showing different time. The days are longer, you're right and I see it very clearly in the mornings.

    1. Andrew is not Sisley, not impressionist you're right. He is a self taught painter, who loves art.

  14. These paintings are beautiful. The artist has a natural talent. Number four is my favourite - felt like I was standing there. I like the red tram-car, number six. So bright and cheerful in such a snow filled scene. Number eleven made me smile.
    I'm sorry to know you are not well. Hope you will feel much better soon.
    Take care, dear Nadezda.
    Hugs, Betty.

  20. I like the pictures of the trams in the snow. I always like to see trams in the snow for some reason, I think it reminds me of some of my childhood years in Germany.
