[Natalya-Aksen]

Already in February, the artist was going on sketching - afraid to miss the days when the sky begins to play new shades when the snow settles and spring comes . Her favorite time of the year , Eugene Ryabinsky never tired of writing . And on his canvases shone so fresh cool colors, tayaschimi a first spring sun glare that, as friends recall , there were cases when the show instead of discussing work applauded the author .

He remembered the happy moments of childhood, when breathed in with the old bell tower wind carrying the smell of blooming gardens , admiring spaces, trying to figure out what the horizon. Here at home Tambov , he returned to become an artist, wrote endless farmland, already warm and ready to sprout , armfuls of flowers , people in the village work and holidays.
The artist worked with nature , but each of his canvas to transform the world , giving it a new bright colors, which called for joy. He wrote the truth . But it was light because the author wanted to show his characters in the happy moments of life , in harmony with the world : at the wedding, even when the trees are dancing in the district bus, where a woman becomes the center - rustic Madonna with Child in her arms .
