This is kind of a study for a forthcoming larger painting in my "Point Of Light" series. I have realised that I need to get some paintings done for upcoming Every Day Original slots as well as needing work to take to IX in October. It looks like I will be exhibiting the Point Of Light paintings at the Abend Gallery in Denver CO early next year and need about 15 for the show and have done 5 so far so I need to press on with both directions at the same time...
This will have an interesting light and colour to it which I will carry over to the larger painting but need to try my hand at painting water first so this is where I will start. This could be an old Crusader castle taken over by the Ottoman Turks who have built a mosque in it and is probably located on the coast of Turkey... not that this ever existed as it is of course a fantasy....
This is the tonal underpainting stage using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a rag and flat brushes.
Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
