The rider in the blue study

This is a final image of the blue room that occupied me for the whole week, painting it and fantasizing.

The inspiration from the Albertina palace continues to pour into these little bright interiors this week.
Loved this dignified gentelmen’s grays contrasting with bright yellow of the interior.
The colour combination of the walls and he furniture just blew me away here. Although, not sure what the duke thought of his study, but seeming myself in the mirror as I sat at my desk would be a bit uncomfortable.
This room belongs to the series of the State rooms at the Albertina gallery in Vienna. I lingered in those halls for hours and, as a result, have the material for dozen more paintings if it will keep its spell on me.
Yesterday checked out my small entry on show at the Royal Academy this year. The place was packed for the private view, and the Weston room of small works was impossible to get into an hour into the show.
Must have been a dark-ish day outside that the State rooms at the Albertina palace were fully illuminated.

The colour and mystuque in this corner is so captivating, I am having another take at it.
