Another painting from an artist in Kyiv, Ukraine arrived at my office this week. I brought it to Frame Minnesota to get a hanging wire installed on the back. Darina, who works there, came from Odessa just 6 years ago. She recognized the name of the painter. Indeed, small world connections! Painter: Aleksei Chebotaru
