"All real things in Russia are done in the villages". -Ernest Poole

There are over 6,840,507,000 people in the world right now.  Each with many different cultures.  Americans, Hispanics, and Africans are a few to name.  My concentration is on illustrating different cultures of the world some commonly known and others not so much.  My ancestors came from Ireland and Russia.  And I wanted to know more about specifically Russia since not many people know much about this huge country.

Russian families mostly are proud of their country and try to pride themselves on being able to prosper under such conditions.  They have great respect for the elders and guests in their homes.  Most of their families live in small apartments with 3 or more generations sharing 

what little space they have.  

I am brainstorming some ways I can express in one of my artworks, my ancestors' Russian culture.  I am thinking about a young Russian girl in a grassy field and in the middle ground her mother lining clothes on close line with a small cottage in the background behind her.  There are a few more ideas, but I really like this idea.
