Eternitate

This park is Moldova's eternal flame monument; it honors the Soviet dead of World War II.  Under the structure are the bodies of the unknowns.  There are patriotic sayings in both Russian and Romanian on the legs.  It is the place Russian sympathizers use for political demonstrations, especially on Victory Day (May 9).  We went the weekend before Victory Day.

 I found the whole place so very painfully Soviet.  There was no tenderness, no curves.  It's all sharp angles and red concrete.

Flowering Along

I added to the uppermost flower surrounded by three butterflies and worked on the edge of the butterfly below and to the left of it.

Starting Down The Second Side

This week I finished up the right and started down the left.  I am happy to be making the progress I am and am determined to get this done by the end of June.

Watercolors

We have been collecting these two watercolor artists since we started living in Moldova.  Here are some, recently framed.

Half A Dragon

Yay, I have half a dragon done and there seem to be fewer quarter stitches on this part.  I'll be able to make faster progress.

Browns And Background

The peacock is beginning to get more filled out.  I also worked on the background on the right.  It's slow going.

Mashup

A mashup of two of our favorite things - The Muppets and Firefly.
