Window openings, open gates and doors, through which panoramic scenery is viewed – this the favorite technique of Nikolay Roerich, that was used by him for the rest of his life. These borders focus the viewer's eyes and look like a frame, creating a complete picture. Roerich liked semicircular roman-gothic arches. In 1922, in America, in the island of Monhigan, the artist admired the surrounding rocks, the ocean, the colors of stones and the sky. The sky had always attracted the artist: "Among my first childhood memories, first of all, there were beautiful patterned clouds that emerged. Eternal movement, generous transformations, powerful creativity tied my eyes to the sky for a long time... People are definitely divided into two types. Some are able to enjoy the heavenly architecture, but for others, it is silent, or, rather, their hearts are silent. But children can enjoy the clouds and elevate their imagination. But our imagination is nothing but a result of observation".
