Analyses:

-many parallel lines and symmetrical 

-all lines lead back to the people in the center of the painting

-geometric forms are the light bulbs and path

-organic forms are the people and trees

-value and positive spacing 

-texture appears to feel rough and smooth

-there is movement starting on either side of the painting drawing the viewers eye towards the people that are in a relationship

Interpretation:

This painting gives off a peaceful, happy feeling from the smudged yet bright colors that are used. It expresses love by placing two people walking down together through a beautiful landscape, as they admire the scenary.

Judgement: 

The drawing does have to do with a relationship themed. By painting two people walking down a gorgeous pathway full of life shows how great their relationship is. Leonid loves painting landscapes and other nature things. Yes, he still paints art work like this.
