The Sky Palace of Hakim Bey - stage 1



 Good to be back painting again with a new pair of working glasses after a recent cataract op that left it hard to focus on details.

This is probably destined for my upcoming slot on Every Day Original later this month and is another Orientalist piece as they seem so popular and I enjoy painting them. I'm aiming for something of a Maxfield Parrish feel to this one but as ever paintings seem to have a mind of their own and might turn out to be different!

This is the tonal underpainting stage using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin and applied with brushes and a rag for the clouds.

Oil on linen 16" x 12".
