    Hi all. I found this pretty thing and had to have it. Its 12x18,and I was told on my FB art board it was by "V. Spirekov" but I was unable to find the artist. Any input is always appreciated.

    Did the FB art board provide you with any links that it was by V.Spirekov? I couldn't find anything on the signature on your painting or the name the FB board said it was by.

    Why is the name on the painting a totally different name?

    IMTranslator tells me the title of OP, Покровский Собор, is Pokrovsky Cathedral. It does not look like any image of the cathedral I can find.

    There is the same artist name & a title. The word that looks like KAPTOH (carton) means cardboard, I believe.

    I have two paintings by Vadim Spirenkov bought when I was working in Moscow in 1991/92.

    They are both political satire and interesting because of the new freedom at that time, with the collapse of the Soviet Union. I can't seem to upload them.

    Welcome, Tim. The problem is usually that the file size exceeds the limit, below 1mb, preferably 640 x 480k.
