Castelo S. Jorge da Mina

About 99% of my paintings are done using my own photos, with a small number using specifically licensed photos from someone else. In exceptions such as this one, I find especially appealing scenes from parts of the world I will never be able to visit. In these cases, I do my best to use multiple photo references and change a number of things like the sky, lighting and other details and omissions. This old castle was built by Portuguese explorers centuries ago on the African coast, current-day Ghana.

A vasta maioria das minhas pinturas são baseadas nas minhas próprias fotos ou fotos aprovadas pelos seus autores. Em exceções como esta, eu encontro cenas que me encantam de lugares longínquos que muito provávelmente nunca poderei visitar. Nestes casos, tento usar referências múltiplas, e deliberadamente mudo muitos detalhes, céu, luz, etc. Este castelo foi construído por exploradores Portugueses há vários séculos na costa Africana, o atual país do Ghana.
