On The Way To The Morning by Leonid Afremov

Hi Leonida,

I adore your work and follow it religiously - I find anything that I see of yours, highly recognizable & instantly, however I do have some questions ...

For such a recognizable artist - that has achieved such enormous public attention for all of the work you have done to date -

Why do all of your paintings use the same, identical palette and why do you not incorporate variable palettes into other paintings? Every single one I've seen you do is the exact same palette and I absolutely mean no disrespect saying this BUT - after a while they all look the same to me -

You have wonderful technique and attention to light, shadow, values, details but the palette (in my opinion) seems to grow stale and it causes me to wonder why YOU PERSONALLY don't challenge yourself with differing combinations of palettes or why you don't grow bored with the very same one for the oh-so-many paintings you have accumulated ??

Again no disrespect intended - just a genuine question ~ curiousity ...
