When I picture this type of architecture, I always imagine there are alcoves and usually with mashrabiya; the ornately carved window screens. This really captures the exotic locale that I pictured in my mind when reading the tales of Sheherazade

It has been quite a while since I read the Tales of Sheherazade and now you have made me want to stop painting sealant on my floor and go listed to Ravel:

You can’t do both at the same time? I love Ravel- Sheherazade and Bolero are my favorites…
I knew you were going to ask that, and NO I cannot do both at the same time. I could get caught up in the performance and paint myself in a corner. Besides, the reason I chose the Segerstam version is for the SHOUTING that starts at 44:59 — You have to SEE the shouting (and also because the musicians in this video are so genuine. They all have such interesting expressions) Also because like Chaucer’s Wife of Bath I am somewhat hearing impaired and have to pay really close attention to anything that makes noise.
Kudos to you for knowing your limitations. So many of us paint ourselves into corners due to lack of planning, and then who do we have to blame?

Hard to say what is the case here
Your talent is natural. You do not need our help but I am sure you like reading our ideas. Another excellent job is what I say. Would like decorating around this “wall”.
You do realize that’s just a wall with two square holes cut out of it, right? I may have gussied it up a bunch but at the base level it is quite lazy…
You did more than that. It is the lighting, the angles and the shades of color you used. The whole package works. I see more than just a wall.
Yeah, the lighting and texturing are nice but the actual geometry is very simple. I would hesitate to call it architecture
Such old sod photography always attract human nature.
it just reminds me of the fever dreams I had as a child
Do you work for a hobby. It just makes you happy.
this is both my vocation and my avocation
Rally fearful pictures
you ain’t seen nothing yet
Love the design! My dad was an architect and he could have helped make it the best. Oh course you do not need help anyway.
I need all the help I can get and I need all the help that I can’t get, too… Architecture isn’t my strong suit
What’s worse is I am doing this without any reference whatsoever
