Architectural detail of the Mausoleum of Mohammed V.
The Mausoleum is in Rabat, Morocco.
I leave you with one of my paintings. This is done in ink in the pointillist style, composed entirely of dots.

I found it quite relaxing actually … just sitting, going dotty .. I’ve done a couple of others and would like to do more. I like the way it renders stone.

Without doubt, some of the world’s most beautiful works of art in architecture are to be found within Islamic culture. Your pointillist style painting is very impressive. I have an understanding of how long it can take to create such a work. 🙂

Thank you, Ross. There definitely is a distinctive style to many of the mosques and tombs, like filigree lace work – it’s very intriguing, and beautiful, in my mind, for that type of structure.

Lovely curves, Lynne. The arch in the Mausoleum in Rabat looks very similar to the ones found in the Alhambra Palace in Granada, but with the Moorish influence in Spain, I guess that´s not very surprising.
Thanks for the pingback BTW 🙂
