Dogs and cats are always present in her life. Of Pets that Elena’s portraits draws are incredibly alive!

A stylized portrait of modern dogs, whether it's outdoors, near the house in the country, at the Dog Show, with elements of the heraldry of the country, where this dog was born,-in one word- story of breed!

In 2010 year she becomes the owner of Kennel in six dogs,-small,- but very beloved !

Elena draws sketches of dogs, paintings. She also makes photos of them at home, outside or in a studio.

Elena takes part in dog shows. Her dogs have titles, there are even Interchampions.

A remarkable fact: two portraits of English and Irish setters, painted by Elena, are in a harmony with an authentic Shishkin painting hanging on the wall.

This admirable work was presented to me by people, who know that the animal issue is very important for me. When I took off the elegant wrapping, I felt the divine smell of paint and there was no end my happiness: I looked at the beautiful eyes of my favourite dog. A noble face of Martin with hairs and wet nose was so vivid and real that I could almost feel his breathing. He was a splendid as in real life!

But moreover my dear dog, in honor of whom the picture is titled “King of kings”, is here, among his other shaggy friends. Some of them are still alive and some already passed away.

In the composition of this picture even a white-coat seal has found its place. We are fighting to save him together with Laima Vaikule, Artemiy Troitskiy, Andrey Makarevich, Konstantin Sabinin, Irina Novozhilova, Elena Kamburova Alexander Sklyar, Konstant Raikin and with other good people.

I am happy that now in my house I have a picturesque embodiment of creatures to whom I feel respect and tenderness, and that these vulnerable neighbors of humanity attract attention of such talented artists as Elena Shorokhova-Gayun."

Double-headed eagles, coats of arms, ornamental compositions - this is from childhood - perhaps from the books .
