Fall forest by Leonid Afremov

Now I shall go on about my rating in order from lowest to highest.

Originality, I have this a 43.5 because this seems like a well done concept. Although I don't know of many doing an oil painting along this concept. And I really enjoy how there's more focus around the person, and as it moves away the strokes seem to be bigger in chunks. I think that's what makes this as original as it is, it's simplified without taking away from it.

Impact, I gave this a 4.5. Even though this is a somewhat common piece to do, this really impacts me. I think it's the style of it as I previously mentioned. The simplicity makes it complex at the same time, and gives it its own character which affects me in almost a way that makes me thing that person is doing a lot of thinking on their walk. It doesn't seem like a calm relaxing walk, but more for thought. Thought that you've been thinking for a long time before, and possible long after.

Vision, the idea as I mentioned before to me comes across as deep in thought. It makes me thing this person has a lot on their mind as they just walk to forget all their troubles, which is why you got a five-star because this is what i heavily pick up on and I don't just have a weak thought I'm left with.

Technique, i believe you had this one in the bag. The large stokes help give this painting a lot of character, which I much enjoy that. But you've done it so well it doesn't seem blotchy at all. The ground itself in that style looks amazing as it hardly looks like this style is kept there as it is in the trees. With this style you still managed to keep with perspective as you did the ground, yet offer unique shapes to the leaves.

Now at last I say what an amazing job. I am glad I was able to analyze this for you Leonid.
