Description
This is the second canvas of the Maidens Castle (Kizkalesi) at Korykos which was painted from the ruins of the connecting castle on the mainland. The two were linked by a causeway which has since disappeared but seem to have been intact during the early nineteenth century when western travelers here indicated its sighting. Painted during an extremely hot day which is vividly etched in my memory. I first glimpsed these flowers from the train while traveling across the plains across the top end of Turkey months before and they looked like planets swirling across their universe of green. Oppressive conditions and a wide film of clouds moving lazily towards the west created a surreal feeling and I was almost driven to paint this beautiful canvas of the planet flowers suspended in a liquid day. These conditions though created an attractive envelope of light throughout the entire canvas of light blue turning into pink.

This is a beautifully executed painting! It brings back fond memories of Istanbul and the Bosphorous. I spent two years there teaching English at the British Council and still keep going back there. It's a magical place full of culture and a fascinating ancient history. I like the effects you have achieved with a limited palette. Brilliant artwork!
