Misty Umbrella by Leonid Afremov

Every time I see a new painting of yours I well up with all kinds of emotions.
I hate seeing them on Deviantart. What I mean is...the computer or cell doesn't do them justice! They deserve to be admired in a museum. This painting belongs in a museum. Call me Indiana Jones here, but I'm serious...IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM.
The colors are perfect. Rainy nights are special nights...the way the rain hits things, makes everything like up; twinkle; shine. The feeling and coziness of rainy nights, there is a real romanticism about it. You have captured it beautifully. Makes me think of Judy Garland dancing and singing in step to Gene Kelly, "Singing in the Rain".
I live in Southern California, I'm curious...are any of your paintings in a gallery or museum there?? Or anywhere in California?
