Vladimir Koshelev-Dreith started to paint on his retirement at the age of about 75! And achieved great success! From that time forward the main project of his autumn years was oil painting. Working hard as all Germans are Vladimir Koshelev-Dreith created many wonderful oil paintings which now decorate privat art collections here in Russia and abroad. Muscovites and out-of-towners could enjoy his art works at two personal shows held in Moscow and dedicated to Vladimir Koshelev-Dreith's art. One of the exhibitions was orgenazed by Deutsch – Russischen Haus in October 2007 still in lifetime of the painter.
