Fancied doing a blue nocturne harking back to my love of blue Edmund Dulacs of which I saw a roomful at the Dulwich Picture Gallery many moons ago. I wasn't going to originally but I changed my mind and put some lights in the windows to give me the complementary as well as to give a bit more variety of colour. Set in an imaginary Central Asia where this is just about possible I tried to make the architecture more like a palace and less like a mosque by leaving out the minarets for instance.
I have painted this for my upcoming February 23 slot on Every Day Original and will post on that site later today.
Oil on fine cotton 12" x 16"
There is a step-by-step progress through this painting in previous posts on this blog.
