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. This painting will be available for auction on www.afremov.com Each original oil painting by Leonid Afremov is truly a one-of-a-kind unique piece of art.

Oh my gosh I love this! Wow, it's so colorful and beautiful! I love the vivid, rich, vibrant colors and textures displayed here! This is really a fantastic work!
The one thing is that the sky looks a little too textured, and while the tree branches look like they closing over the streetlights, the tree trunk looks a bit too far away for that.
First, all your paintings are really beautiful. I'm pretty new to painting but I'm taking a class this semester where we're working with oil paints. I have a few questions if you're willing to answer; I can see the palette-knife strokes but how did you create the long lines (e.g. the sidewalks)? Is the paint very thick? Did you allow it to dry before placing on the next color on the street, or how did you avoid blending?
