idealized architecture

consider the dome and layered muted tones as background.....classic architecture.

graphite is cheap

brainstorm:
considering luxury, extravagance and my need for it, but wanting to abandon it. should i paint figures with luxurious accents. or paint simple living. i think about Marie Antoinette and the life style lived before the french revolution and then consider the consequences......her death. how do they relate to the life we're living today? and further, the life i am living, compared to life i COULD be living.
passions, materials, ideas? what are they worth. debt? maybe, if the ideas produce income, or a way of life. the circle is never ending. where to go from here. make a decision. graphite is cheap.


if i paint the bare figures with luxurious accents, what's in the background? blank? washed and worn layers and layers of muted tones? i think so. sounds like my style.
