The wise old faces of grandparents look atbaby who sleeps peacefully. He does not know how many storms of life he will have to move, and the old couple, who have passed more than one test of life together, know that his fate can be somehow, and therefore they are so sad. Unwittingly you expect young parents to come in now, pick up the baby and kiss the old people, and smiles will play on everyone’s faces. For now - all tones are muffled, quiet, a bit sleepy. Velvet dresses of the old woman, the most delicate lace collar, snow-white hair and the huge eyes of the elderly spouses draw all the attention of the viewer, and the tranquility of the baby - to the gentle and sad focus on it of two old men.
And rain and snow

The kid is at least a little sheltered from the pouring rain and cannot comprehend his happiness. He is in a state of ignorance. Perplexity is written on the muzzle. He never encountered such an attitude. Who among people will be able to repeat such an act?
Self portrait on tree

"Ball"
On the edge of a hillock, covered with flowers and grass, there are three cute heroes: a girl, a boy and a puppy. They stand against the blue sky, which occupies two thirds of the canvas.
The flowers are still blooming, but it's cool outside.The kids are dressed in autumn and hold each other's hands. They have warm coats and hats on them, the boy has a scarf tied, and on a leash he keeps their faithful little friend. All three of them stared at the white translucent ball, which they released to freedom, and he soared into the sky. “Where will he fly?” - this is what the three of them thought about. They let go of the ball of happiness and wish him to find it. It would seem that a little - a ball, but how much it means for children. So in the future they will learn to give freedom to those who need it. After all, everything starts small. For them - this is the first step of parting with loved ones. They are angels without wings, but Nino and other angels have them.

Where did the angels come to the paintings of Nino Chakvetadze? They descended from New Year's Christmas trees, and so lingered among us? Or maybe came from dreams?
In addition, we must remember that each of us onthe angel sits on the shoulder and grieves when we do something wrong, and rejoices when we do good deeds, especially helping someone. Her angels are just kids with wings attached. They also want to play snowballs with everyone, go sledding, tinker with puppies, but they are always alone and therefore sad. They know how to rejoice in someone else's joy and sadness someone else's sadness. Their Nino awarded with the ability to empathize, compassion and unselfishness. Looking at them, the viewer is happy about the opportunity to help other people, feeling the fullness of being.
