I painted babushka's vegetable garden. Next to her house in Kyiv she grows all sorts of vegetables: corn, beetroots, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes and pumpkins. But when the war started, she had to spend three weeks in a basement of the house hiding from the bombs. She was very scared. Luckily, she escaped from the war, and babushka will now live with us in London. I don't know if we will ever visit her vegetable garden again.
