Spring has come Painting

Far from the bustling cities, in a remote village in western Siberia, there lived a little girl called Valya. From a very early age, she discovered an incredible talent and a love of art. When other children were playing hide-and-seek or running around in the meadow, Valya preferred to sit by the river and paint. Her delicate brush brought each leaf, each flower to life, conveying all the beauty of the surrounding nature on her canvases. She longed to see the big world, to be inspired by new images and to learn to paint like the great masters. But there was no art school in the village, and Valya's parents, who were simple peasants, could not afford to send their daughter to a distant city to develop her talent. In spite of this, Valya did not despair. She found a teacher in nature itself. Every day she would go to her favourite places: to the thick forest, where the pine trees leaned over the road, and to the fields, where the flowers danced in the wind. There she watched, listened and was inspired. She caught every detail, the subtle shimmer of the flowers and the whisper of the wind. Valya painted everything she saw and felt. She transferred the world around her - green fields, blue sky and silvery rivers - onto canvas. Her pictures came to life, as if nature herself had awakened life in them. The news about the girl's talent reached distant villages and many people came to admire her work. Valya was happy to see how her art evoked smiles and admiration.
