Streetlights (1961) Original Watercolour by Natalia Johansson

A watercolor painting of an autumn city street at night, with a deep dark-blue background and a dark-blue night sky. Tall houses and buildings surround the street, creating a quiet urban atmosphere. A city bus passes through the scene, glowing softly with warm yellow lights and casting reflections across the wet pavement.

Streetlights illuminate the road with small pools of golden light. Orange, red, and yellow autumn leaves are scattered along the sidewalks and drift gently through the air. The dark-blue tones dominate the painting, contrasted by warm golden highlights from the bus, windows, and streetlights.

The watercolor style is soft and expressive, with transparent layers, subtle color bleeding, loose brushstrokes, atmospheric shadows, and shimmering reflections. The overall feeling is calm, mysterious, and poetic, capturing the beauty of a quiet autumn night in the city.
