Heart and bread

by Fedor Aseev · Borzhomi, GE

I went to see what the old artist is painting - it was definitely not the sea, not the embankment, and certainly not a dog devotedly looking at him. Probably the old man simply scooped up inspiration from the world around him, and painted something of his own, from his mind. Near on the bench stood homemade wine, lay a couple of pieces of bread and two rumpled tomatoes. Tomatoes exuded juice and seemed like a bloody heart. This was the only bright spot on this rainy day, so I decided to name the picture "Heart and Bread".
