About paintings I mainly paint with oil colours. It has a malleable (flexible) nature, it’s plastic and in my opinion it keeps warmth (of a human soul) and energy (bioenergy, energy of some creation). I believe, that in painting the most important thing for perceiving a picture in general is a combination of colors in work. Every color has its own magical force and it influences on physiological and psychological processes of the person. Sometimes the form and the content are not so important as just (namely) the color, that emits waves with different impact (sensual value). Knowing specifics of each color, it is possible to form certain image, to evoke certain emotions, associations. Subjects of my paintings are observations from everyday life, reflection of feelings and emotions. Nautical theme prevails in my paintings, because water is a base of all life on Earth and it gives energy and harmony to a human soul like nothing else. Pictures are like children. You put your heart and love into it. But, perhaps, the most wonderful thing is when they take on a life of their own.

Hi Ekaterina,

About paintings

I mainly paint with oil colours. It has a malleable (flexible) this is fine, but 'flexible' is used more often in English speech.


nature, it’s plastic and in my opinion it keeps has warmth (of a human soul) and energy (bioenergy, energy of some creation). Both 'warmth' and 'energy' are fine, but perhaps 'warmth and soul' is closer to what you're looking to say.


I believe, no comma is needed here that in painting , put the comma here instead the most important thing for perceiving a picture in general is a combination of colors keep in mind which 'type' of English you wish to speak; I noticed you use both spellings of this word. 'Colour' is British English, and 'color' is American. American English removes the 'u' from many words ending in -our, such as 'colour', 'honour', 'harbour', etc.


in work. Every color has its own magical force and it's own influences on the physiological and psychological processes of the person. While this isn't incorrect, it doesn't sound quite natural. Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be " [...] influences on the physiology and psychology of a person."

Sometimes the form and the content are not so important, as just (namely) the color, the colour alone that emits waves with different impacts (sensual value). Knowing the specifics of each color, it is possible to form a certain image, to evoke certain emotions and associations. When you are using commas in a list of items or statements, the last two items should be joined by 'and' and have no comma:

"Harry, Paul, Susan and Jane go shopping." "They bought shoes, books and food."


The subjects of my paintings are observations from everyday life, reflections of feelings and emotions. Nautical themes prevails in my paintings, because water is a the base basis of all life on Earth and it gives energy and harmony to a human soul like nothing else.
Pictures are like children. Here is a good use for the semi-colon ( ; ). use it between two statements, where the second is directly linked to the first:

"Pictures are like children; you put your heart and love into them."


You put your heart and love into it. But, perhaps, the most wonderful thing is when they take on a life of their own.

This was a very good entry, Ekaterina. Keep up the good work!
