Russian dolls

Hello! goooooood morning! Bonjouur!

This post today is all about one of my passions : Russian dolls…I’m in love with these wood dolls and I have some I want to show you today with my latest painting 🙂

Let’s begin with the painting:

This painting was inspired by THIS POST of the wonderful Jacquie 🙂 Jacquie included a Russian Doll to her collage and that’s what gave me this idea to paint Russian dolls and I really really enjoyed it and I even began another one 🙂

This acrylic on canvas is smaller than the others I’ve made before…Look at it between them 😉

and this is my wood dolls collection…

The bigger one in the middle has 30 small ones inside 🙂 I took it from my parent’s house 🙂 My mother brought it with her from a holiday in St Petersburg when I was a baby …

But my favorite is the one in the next pic…next to the painting…a boy …

I just love his cute little face 🙂

That’s all my lovelies 🙂 I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my Russian dolls 🙂

Have a wonderful week end,

and see you very soon !

    If you are interested to have a pattern to knit and to crochet these little doll’s, please let me know. I’ve got them and I think they’re in English or in French. And if they are in Flemish I’m willing to translate them for you. No prob

    Hi Angie… What a fantastic collection of Russian dolls! I love the painting too…wonderful colours as always, but especially lovely because the background is my favourite green! Angie…how could you show us that huge doll and tell us there are 30 little ones inside without showing them too us!!? 🙂 Have a lovely weekend! Hugs, Jill x

    I Love everything you do! Congratulations on your expectant new family member. You are just like your Russian doll…from you came your other children and now another … I love the symbolism of that. Maybe you should paint a picture of that….Russian dolls that start with you and your likeness, followed by the likeness of your children. wish I could paint! <3

    Oh – I love love Russian dolls. Have four myself, and just daren’t have any more, but I look longingly at them in the stores. Maybe???? All of my grandchildren have loved playing with them and it is pure delight to watch them very carefully remove all the dolls, sort them out and then so so carefully put them all back. One of them is actually a cat with a tiny mouse in the middle. Love your blog as well Angie.

    I love your painting Angie! All your paintings are so full of color and happiness – you truly ‘live life in color’ and they always make me exclaim ‘wow’ and smile! I just know you won’t be able to resist Bernadette’s offer of the crochet/knitting pattern for some Russian ladies….. 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend.

    Oh how pretty are these dolls! So colourful. I have a set of 7 which my Father-in-Law brought back from a working trip to Romania once and another ‘santa’ set I bought for myself. I like them very much.
    Your paintings are so wonderful too. hugs Elly
