Tempera on canvas. 2000. 70 х 80 cm

On Altai there is a high-mountain valley of rare beauty, a valley of the river Chulyshman. Mountains in the end of the day are painted there in golden colors, therefore this place often is called the golden valley. People often promise «mountains of gold» to beloved ones, but not everyone can fullfil such promise… What a luck is to be an artist and to have an opportunity to present beauty to the people!

This painting is a gift to the best friend, the inspirer and simply most favourite person in my life - to my husband Denis.
