Taken from Revolution: Russian Art 1917-1932, a brilliant (if horribly overcrowded) exhibition at the Royal Academy. So much to see, and in my case, learn. Petrov-Vodkin's ancestors were bandits, and according to local legend his surname derives from homemade vodka produced by his grandmother... what's not to love?
Cherry blossom is one of my most favourite things, it just makes me really happy. This blossom sitting so prettily on the bar of my favourite pub then, made me grin from ear to ear.
