Hellllllllo Linda! Nice to see you too...
Loved your painting: Dusk or Dawn! Very sensual.

The story about Anna is true (except may be the cup of tea:
there was a plastic, half broken, ugly Chinese thermos instead).

The cloths of Anna, are the cloths of her grand grand grand mother,
who was the wife of a very famous Yakut poet from the 19th century: Kulakovsky. That is why the kind of strange stylistic: 150 years ago even folkloric robes were influenced by city-fashion.

The Huskies aren't exact either. Instead: there was a completely lazy and terribly slow Yakut horse, which in fact was used by Scott when he tried to reach the Pole South before Amundsen. Certainly it was the reason of his death and failure, cause the Yakut horses did not eat fish-rests (and in addition were eaten themselves by Scott).

The blue eyes of the Huskies however are definitely an important part of the story of this painting cause when we finally arrived at the Yakut camp of Anna...
(who if you understood the situation correctly was a kind of "Taiga Firefighter" in the Summer and "Survival Tourist Saver" in the winter)
...so when we arrived... I was horribly impressed with the similitude of her eyes with the eyes of the Huskies....

...and and THIS WAS THE ORIGIN of my desire to paint her portrait!
