New painting: Makkah

So finally I get to work on a new oil painting. The subject this time is kinda different than my usual comfort zone; buildings!
I chose the Grand Mosque in Makkah because of the unique architecture of that place, plus it will be a gift for a friend of mine ( I hope he doesn't read my blog! ).... Anyhow, these are some first WIP images of the small painting so far... enjoy and stay tuned!
