Alley by the lake

I love art, but I am more interested in making art then watching it.
Anyways, I was thinking of sharing my favorite painting with you today, and then tell me what you think about it, ok?



Well, this painting is called "Alley by the lake" and is by Leonid Afremov.
What I really like about this picture is the amazing, wet
texture, and the water reflections on the street are just incredible. They seem so real; not like a painting, but like a picture from somebody's everyday life..
I am also a big fan of
warm colors, and there are lots of those in this painting. I don't know for sure why I like the warm color so much, but I think it is because they seem so much more comforting and welcoming compared to cool colors. Another thing, which I like a lot about this painting is the strokes. They seem to be done so carefree, like it is a really simple task, even though it isn't as easy as it looks.

I love it..
What do you think about it?
