Moonlight Encampment

This is a small picture that I have done in between sending the paintings to Illuxcon and me getting there next Monday. I intend to take it along with me on the flight in my hand luggage and putting it on the table unframed, hopefully on a small table easel as an extra picture to sell and indeed to fill up the table a bit as I don't have much else to put on it! 
On a moonlit night by the Taj Mahal a small group of men sit around a campfire, their tied-up boat floats on the quiet river in the foreground. This picture is all about mood and lighting, based on a blue/orange complementary colour combination, most of the colours being mixed from Prussian Blue and Burnt Sienna. Oil on linen 16" x 12". There is a step-by-step progress through this painting on earlier posts on this blog.
