Place of Worship

I really enjoy the contrasting wall colours they use in Manchester Art Gallery, the initial draw to paint this scene was the pull through from the cool teal room to the warm red gallery in the distance. I have titled it 'Place of Worship', the religious iconography is obvious within the scene, but primarily because these public art galleries have a sacred quality for me; Art has become my religion, my life's dedication. These hushed spaces, where money and value are removed, become pure spaces of learning and contemplation.
