I see,

Well you could do third person limited, that we know Ivan's thoughts but we can only get Katy though her actions.

Ivan could have turned to see Katya looking at the paintings her eyes curiously examining them. But thats just me, your story is fine just the way it is.

Pictures of Russia during the heavy winter can serve as insparation in the landscape, with good imagry you can make the land beautiful. Please talk to Father Grigori he's well travelled so having his view would help, I'll be watching, good luck
