Lada Ponomareva lives in Moscow, her favourite breed is Chortai and she had a borzoi too. I think she is very gifted. The technique of the paintings is Russian "matrioshka" style. That means watercolours and gouache on hard cardboard  which is lacquered after the work is ready.

The White Psovaya named Antey.
(Technique is watercolour and gouache on a strong pasteboard, all is varnished, 30 x 40 cm)"

Lada can paint from photos, no problems.
