I have painted this for sale for my slot on Every Day Original which comes up on 13 November as I didn't have anything that was suitable/small enough for their criteria. I thought that I would paint an Orientalist piece as these seem to sell quite well and have combined this with a skyscape which I know is what Every Day Original suggested when I was first invited. The sky is meant to be ambiguous in that it could be night or day or if not that then at least has a magical dusty light to it. It is a fantasy city, vaguely Arabian Nights in which I have used different architectural styles from different parts of the Islamic world.
Oil on linen 16" x 12". There is a step-by-step progress through this painting in earlier posts on this blog.
