Winter is over, and with it go the gray days, sadness and sadness, the sun is shining brighter, the days are getting warmer and longer. For artists of all times, the theme of spring has always been one of the most favorite. The great Russian landscape painter I. Levitan painted this transitional season from winter to summer with great pleasure. And the artist N. Torshin has a particularly sonorous and expressive composition called "The Beginning of Spring" among his paintings. The author remains true to himself in his landscapes. They truly and deeply depict the native Kostanay nature. The female images of G. Sokov are tenderly and reverently executed in the portraits "Student", "The color of an old apple tree", "Sunny". And in N. Khalifayeva's paintings, the elegance and grace of girls in Kazakh national costumes are emphasized with detailed ethnography. Everywhere the viewer notices a lot of floral motifs made by the authors in watercolors, oil, batik, felt, in them there is a spiritual warmth and an impenetrable delight. It is at this time that nature explodes with a riot of colors and thousands of various combinations of shades and semitones. And Kostanay artists have enriched their color chords with new tones in their paintings.
