Women in art often use women as art subjects themselves. One of the most well known painters with this type of mindset is Dina Shubin. Her exceptional paintings of women who are engaged in dance or music are calming and a delight to see.

This artist was a graduate of the Moscow Teacher's Training Institute. About nine years later, she relocated to Canada. Since then she has produced a large number of exquisite works that have been displayed all over the world.

If you would like to own a picture that depicts strong, talented women, then a Shubin is your best choice. The works show women at their best or most relaxed. The print "Dreamy Day" is of a young woman on a window seat with a far-off pensive look on her face. She looks calm and peaceful in her comfortable surroundings and could be thinking about any number of pleasant thoughts. "Sharing a Secret" is a work depicting two friends exchanging confidences with one figure whispering in the other woman's ear. They seem happy and genuinely fond of each other and this representation of friendship is something we would all like to achieve.

Her main theme does seem to be that of women and music and sometimes just music by itself. "Violin" appears as an abstract painting with a violin as the focal point. "Flute Queen" shows an attractive young woman intent on playing the instrument. "Girl in Blue' leaves us guessing with her face turned from us but we just know she is concentrating on getting just the right note.

This talented artist also has many other quality works including abstracts. These pieces consist of many sharp edges and unexpected bursts of color and light among rectangles, squares and triangles. Some of the better-known works include "Play of Light, " "Composition N1 and N2, " and "Abstract Composition."

The artist apparently also loves blooming flowers. She has many paintings that depict this type of foliage at their very best. Some examples include "Tall Vase, " "Sunny Day, " "Red Bouquet, " and "White Bouquet." The varied vases and delicate flowers are all very different but the final result is realistic and subtly vibrant. These works would make wonderful pieces for a sunny kitchen or light-filled sun room.

Amazingly enough, she also paints still life works. The curves of smooth bottles must be attractive to her because she features them in several paintings. The most well known of these include "Bottles on the Table, " "Fancy Bottles in the Night, " and "Fancy Bottles."

Add some extraordinary art to your walls or just fill up some blank walls with pops of color. These posters will provide unique and interesting focal areas in any room. Some of this artist's newer works help continue her theme of peace, calm and tranquility. In the piece known as "In Reflection, " a young girl lies in a boat and stares into her reflection in the river. The newer "Cello" and "In a Blue Light" continue her theme of women with musical instruments.
