Hagia Sofia Acrylic 48 by 36


Turkey was a fabulous country with inspiring architecture, and no buildings were more awesome than this one, built at the height of Byzantine power. I don't usually do paintings with such involved architectural drawings, but based on this one, I think I'll do more.

This is lovely. I was just looking at a friend's photos of the Hagia Sofia (from the outside) and then came to your page to find this! I think you captured the light really well. I like the sense of distortion in the perspective as it adds to the sense of overwhelming grandeur.

I'm glad you told me about your blog. Excellent work here. I'm very fond of your strong colours and the solid brushwork.I look forward to seeing some canvases in person.

My Challege to Myself

Because I am a bit of a masochist I have set a challenge for myself..  To paint two small (6 by 9 inch) watercolors per day in addition to anything else I will create.  I want to continue this for at least a month. The goal of this experiment is to force me to treat my traditional subjects with new eyes and to push me to explore other ideas and subjects. Here are two of my first attempts.   The idea of one summer and one fall painting came from Jack.
