The artist is Alina Maksimenko, a very talented painter from Ukraine. This painting is titled "Carmen", an oil 54+ x 19+inches. Connie and I purchased this painting from R.E. Welch gallery in Seattle WA. I love her use of color and abstract qualities.
 I am currently moving toward painting in a more loose style, using colors I like and feel. I will continue to paint figures and post my new work here. I would like feedback on my work from anyone who cares.
