This one changed in a couple of ways from how I intended it to go. Firstly it was originally going to be Atkinson Grimshaw in the desert but I changed my mind about the sky and it became hot and dusty like an approaching sandstorm and once that decision had been made I went with it and it became a limited palette dusty, dramatic painting instead of a nocturne. Secondly once it was finished and the gold came through in the water I decided to change the title to a rough Arabic equivalent of "Port Of Gold". It's based around a yellow/violet complementary pulling in some violets and oranges.
I have painted this for my upcoming slot next month on Every Day Original.. unless somebody buys it first and I have to paint another...
Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
There is a step-by-step progress through this painting in previous posts on this blog.
