At the confluence of two caravan trails across the desert sits the holy city of Wadi Shuruq. Considered to be sacred due to being the only source of water for many hundreds of miles around, this oasis is magically transformed by the occasional rains into a temporary lake of pure water in which the domes and minarets are reflected.
Well, maybe...
Another Orientalist painting of a place that does not exist. This painting will be for sale on my upcoming slot on Every Day Original on the 28th of this month.
Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
There is a short step-by-step progress through this painting including what colours I used in previous posts on this blog.
