I am 83 years old. I draw constantly with a pencil in my hands. And even when they were gone, my classmates gave me a shard of lead from a broken pencil. The post-war period, when we went to school, was very difficult. My father died in 1943, my mother worked at a military plant from the first day of the war until her retirement. Mom and sister are gone. My husband and I are retired. Our daughter took us to Canada. And so, so as not to get bored and not cry, I paint here in oil. If anyone is interested, you can watch them. My work was approved by professional artists.Mikhailovskaya Yulia Matveevna.
