Detail of the kettle. The dark paint around the shoulder of the kettle sticks out almost 1/4 of an inch from the surface.

Alexandra-1
Portrait of his wife Alexandra.
-
Alexandra-2
Detail of Portrait of Alexandra. The rendering of her cloth around this bottom right corner is almost abstract expressionistic. Again you can see part of unpainted raw canvas where his signature is.

This oil painting of his dfaughter was done on paper.
-
Eya detail
When you look closer, you can see the difference of surface finishes between her face and the rest of the painting. Notice how burnished and smooth her face is and how textured the rest, including her hair.

Father Fishing
This is a small unassuming and yet truly remarkable painting. With some amazing brush works.

Father Fishing detail
Just take a good look at the texture build-up of this piece. I was never able to see any of these even in the best reproduction photos in any of Fechin books. Just amazing.
