Alexandre Serebriakoff, watercolours of Château de Groussay (France). Serebriakoff (1907-1995) was a Ukrainian-born watercolour artist who lived and worked most of his life in France. He developed contacts with French and English high society, and made watercolour albums depicting the richly furnished interiors of French chateaux and London flats, so-called Zimmerbilden or portraits d'intérieur. It was once a popular and charming genre of art, of which older examples are often of interest for the cultural historian, but has faded from the mainstream. Serebriakoff was one of the last masters of the genre.

I just finished project dragon and want to memorize this 'cuz all this situation made me happy.
So, I had this dragon, Felis, for some time now.
Except he had another skin that didn't spark joy to me anymore for some reason. And now he wears this cool cute kitty-cat skin that can't be reprinted anymore because it's old and creator lost that image. So, there will be no new copies. And I wanted this skin so bad for so long, but never found someone who would sell it. I have come to terms with the fact that this is no longer possible. Untill this month. I maneged to buy it!!!!
And not just this one! I bought female version too! And now Felis have a sister, Felisia! She's so cuuute.
I finished her today. And I want to be happy about it!
Also, today I finally saw translation on Susanna Clarke's Piranesi to my native language. Can't wait to buy this book. Trying to find at least something to cheer myself.)
