I love painting this view - simple and iconic - but experimenting with different color palettes. The same shape but different hues gives it a whole different mood and feeling.

Compare it to one I did a while ago, such a different result:

I think I'll do a series of these this weekend and see how many variations I can create. Committing to a series really frees you up to experiment - you've got the subject matter out of the way, and also knowing that you're going to create as many variations as you like really takes the pressure off any single one painting. If it works, great! If it fails, put it aside and try something else.
Popped in a frame and it acquires a bit more grandeur, no?
