Animals Express

On the animals station

Leonid Afremov is ready to bring to your attention a very interesting fantasy on animals topic - one of his marvelous oil hand paintings. In the center of the painting, we see a locomotive arriving to the platform and a group of animals waiting for it. All this takes place against the background of the city – we see 3 houses with purple roofs. The light in the windows glows with multicolored lights. Behind some of them glow purple shades – just as the color of the roof, it seems that there is nothing in the ones in which we see blue glowing;  the thirds play with yellow and red shades, these highly illuminated apartments lure everyone by their lights. These all colors create a very cozy atmosphere.

The locomotive arriving on the platform is as if from the past. The multicolored steam emitting from its pipe fills the sky with an additional palette of colors. Its arrival is awaited by a crowd of animals among which we see giraffe, lion, crocodile and elephant. Whereas the lion and the giraffe are ordinary passengers waiting for their train, the crocodile looks like a station chief – on him we see a pretty strict suit and cap. The elephant is dressed in a polka-dot shirt resembling pajamas. All the animals are depicted rather clearly so that we can immediately guess who is who. These honored gentlemen and maybe a lady, judging by the shirt we see most likely a she-elephant,  are in the quiet expectation of their train showing respect for each other.

In the animal world

Animals surround us almost everywhere being an integral part of our life. In the end, we ourselves are part of the animal kingdom. They are very diverse and each has its own characteristics that sometimes very much surprise. Here we would like to bring to your attention some interesting facts from the animals world you probably have never heard about:

1. Chow-chow is the only dog with not pink tongue.
2. Jumping spider likes to carry a drop of water as a headdress.
3. Alpaca is known for the most valuable wool. It is waterproof, does not get dirty, seven times warmer than sheep's fur.
4. If the lion and the polar bear fight, the latter will win.
5. Cats mew only for people, and never with each other.
6. Sea wasp is the most poisonous creature on the planet.
7. And one more fact about alpacas –they do not bite and do not butt, they do not have sharp teeth, horns, claws and hoofs. That’s why Lawns after them are in perfect condition.

We hope that all these interesting facts and our description will inspire you on buying this wonderful painting and you will never regret your purchase.
