I am preparing for an exhibition by the end of the year with symbolist and surrealist paintings. My plans are that the new paintings will only be on display at the exhibition for the first time, although there will be a few exceptions .

I entered the Tall Sequoia Gallery- Canada, Toronto, “Artists of the World” exhibition with my 3 new paintings, where all three were selected and this painting was chosen by the jury as one of the 12 winners.

"The Valley of Sorrows" 100×100 cm, oil, canvas

I received this email from them:
"Dear Ruth,
