Leonid Afremov is a Russian–Israeli modern impressionistic artist who works mainly with a palette knife and oils. His style is unique and unmistakable. Many of his paintings feature fancy umbrellas. These are some of my favorites.
Colors and Umbrellas – The Paintings of Leonid Afremov
boy with a hat 
they are GORGEOUS…warm and inviting…thank you for sharing them with us!!!!! 🙂
They will tickle your eyes! Gently, gently…
Nice. Very romantic. I wish you posted them in bigger format so we could take a better look. Art like this needs a closeup.
I think I like the sixth painting most. Mostly cause of the ground rain effect.
You liked my leopard skirt post even though you don’t like leopard print:)… You’re nice.
If you click on the paintings they become bigger.
That’s because although I don’t particularly like the leopard skirt, I like the poster. 😉
Ah, very well then! 🙂 I shall click away!
And I thought you were nice… 😉
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
It’s amazing how colours can make rainy days look so cheerful! I love these paintings!
What a great artist. These vibrant paintings dance with life. Oh look, there’s the “boy with the hat” in one of them…
haha!
I’m happy that I made you laugh. Have a great day!
Wow! thanks for sharing, beautiful paintings…
i really like #7…and it occurs to me now that it may be due to the lack of humans in the picture (subconsciously, of course)
it’s a perpetually frustrating fact about humans that they only fall into two categories, alone or not alone. these paintings mirror that reality.
i also notice that the daytime paintings are lovely but the surroundings feel bleak, whereas the ones of nighttime are lush and more colorful than any day.
thank you for sharing this artist…which is your favorite umbrella? mine is painting #3 on the left. i like its confidence.
My favorite is probably #6.
As to #7, if you look attentively you will see an umbrella far away.
They are absolutely gorgeous!
Wooow!! I love them all they are amaizing, and I love your post as well, thanks a lot for shareing 😀
Reminds me a lot of Manet, but most of all Monet, I love impresionism
Great Work!
Have a great day!
Viva Mexico!
ViVa!! xD
Have a great day! 🙂

These are amazing in their vibrant color, making a calm scene pop and pulse with life.
