same time facile, slight went by it. The left leg is put forward, one moment
and she made her step to the evernity.
The elements of

give to the picture dynamism. At the time count of difficult tangles of the
wave bends cloth, thin color transition there are reach a wonderful effect of
the vibration an air. At the clothes of Madonna – characteristics sign of Ukrainian
national clothes. At her head a ribbon that dissolves at the blue of the sky

attractive and grateful.
All the composition
