I have too many competing thoughts about my next American landscape painting and couldn't decide what to get on with so I thought I would leave it alone for a few days and paint something Orientalist for my upcoming post on Every Day Original on 28 December. You can't tell yet but this one should have a different feel to previous Orientalist paintings which should make itself apparent when I make a start on the clouds.
This is the tonal underpainting stage for the city using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet and then I painted a layer of yellow as background for the sky with Lead Tin Yellow Lemon.
Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
