Jan, I'm very happy you liked the pictures and even impressed by them very much. You are so romantic!
Yes, colours of nature are amazing. People will always try to depict them in their arts, crafts, poetry and songs.
The red plant which is on the picture (guelder rose, 'kalyna' in the Ukrainian language) is the symbol of woman's beauty and it is a characteristic feature of the Ukrainian decorative folk arts and folk costumes, as well. The most remarkable artistic phenomenon of the Ukrainian culture is the Petrykivka Style of Painting, so called 'magic realism'. It is a very poetic view of the world around us, or better to say, it is a world in itself, a world which is free to interpret the usual things in a very unusual manner. Tradition says that Petrykivka village was founded by a group of Ukrainian Cossacks in the 18th century and it happened that soon after its foundation, the village, for some mysterious reasons, began to attract people with artistic gifts who came to settle down there. May be it happened because Cossacks were free, independent, there was no serfdom on that territory. In Petrykivka style of painting three colours are predominant — red, yellow (or yellow-green), and dark blue. The berries of the guelder rose are usually painted with fingers and pipettes (!). Petrykivka is not far away from my place.
