I have no idea how I came across this Ukrainian artist's blog. It was a few months ago, and his landscape drawings are really tremendous.  They are simple in composition and execution, but there is nothing rude about these artworks.  His work reminds me as much of van Gogh's drawings as anything else, except his style is his own.

I know, Linda. His work makes me want to go out with a stick of charcoal and draw my trees. Inspirational!

Me too...in fact, I think I will!
It says so much with so little.
