OK after a good start with Japanese subject matter with "The Rain Temple of Iro Ki" I am going to paint another one still influenced by the Shin Hanga prints movement. I am planning on using a similar lighting idea to the previous one but with different colours, muted green/blues and then the complementary yellow/orange in the windows and probably misty/rainy for the atmosphere as before.
Shinrin Taisha loosely translates (I hope) as Forest Shrine in Japanese. I am leaving the background for tomorrow when the "drawing up" is dry as I want to put it in quite spontaneously and I can have some final thoughts over my breakfast coffee as to how I'm going to paint it.
Oil on linen 22" x 16". This is the "drawing" before the tonal underpainting goes in tomorrow and I used my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin.
