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. With his artwork in private and public collections throughout the world, the purchase of an Afremov original is a great investment as his artwork continues to appreciate.

makes Winter in Ireland a lot easier to take having beauty like this to gaze upon. Winters here are dark and grey. Thank you Leonid

criticism? oh goodness, now i have to find something i don't think is quite right about this piece! :fear: haha! well, let me start with what i like. i love this technique in general, i don't know why i haven't encountered it before! i love how you were able to create shadows and depth in the snow. i love the leaves on the foreground trees, because i think they look like little pieces of paper in the wind. MY FAVORITE PART is that reflection on the water, which was the first thing to catch my eye! i think i like that so much because it's rainbow colors and the textures on it are very interesting. i almost don't want to stop looking at it :XD:

the only thing i can offer criticism about is those bushes/trees in the background. i'm not sure i quite like them, because they don't seem to fit, although i can understand why you'd have them (who wants to go on painting skinny trees forever, right?). my suggestion, instead, is to create a horizon line or distant mountains or something. i know these wouldn't immediately stop the trees, but they'd give you some way to fill up the space without getting a black tree-filled confusion.

hope this is helpful, and can't wait to see more! :)
