Hi: Im Alexei Antonov

[Alexei Antonov]

Dear Denise:

Thank you for your nice comments. I am glad to answer your question regarding surfaces. To make long story short, the texture is appearing closer to the most light parts of the compostition and disappear closer to the shadows.

Of course, some paintigs look more texturized and some less depending on the mood.

Regards, Alexei Antonov
