This is an original oil on canvas from my older collection, now you can see the picture in higher resolution.. I use only a palette-knife for painting. I have not used a brush in this painting. I use only natural oil paint and 100% pure cotton canvas.

It really has a bit (post-)impressionistic, almost a bit Van Gogh-y like too and I like it very much. The colours that sort of blur into an unrecognizeable palet make it very expressionistic on it's turn. My only critiscism is the lamppost in the front, with the more whiteish light. I feel like the lightball-thingies should be a bit more fixed, like a bit more tightly round, if you know what I mean. Now you see that little strikes of the palette knife have sort of 'penetrated' the light, but I feel like it would have been a stronger whole if it would have been more of a contrast, especially because the light is so in the front and so bright and white. It doesn't bother me with the lights in the back though. A very much appreciated and inspired piece all in all.

I love your use of color. It takes my mind to a place of peace and makes me feel like I am right there, standing on the street. You make a street corner, that would normally look dull into something filled with so much light and color. Amazing.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. -Scott Adams
i love expressionistsss! although im not one myself. I dont know if i have lack of creativity or im just too into realism but i cant bring myself to do expressive brushstrokes. This is wonderful!
wow! this is awesome!! the painting looks so alive even if theres not much more except the street and the lanterns. this should be one of the most popular deviations on deviantArt!
