Artist's Comments

Cold press watercolor paper 18x24.
This piece was taken By [link] -CTP Pehlivan, a great photographer from DA.
This is a modern mosque, called the Sabanci Merkez Cami in Adana Kebap, Turkey. This picture was taken during the Festival of 2005.
The interior is supposed to be very bright since the light is reflected from the white marble through- out the gorgeous domes.
The mosque was built by the industrial magnate Sakip Sabancı and was opened in 1999. It is second in size only to the Süleymaniye Camii in Istanbul. It is crowned by a 51-meter high dome and provides space for 30,000 worshippers. The inside decoration tries to copy Istanbul's Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Camii).

Nature paints in colours only the heart can comprehend.

Great painting close to naive art, i like it.
:iconirisgrundler:
Thank you.
I think it is more Byzantine style in the same family as Hagia Sophia, but who knows?
It is such a beatiful building not to mention that I believe it is the only church/mosque with six towers.

Thank you. I just hope it is something good. I do not speak, much less write your language. I love to know what you are saying.
