One of the strongest entries in this artist's series, this work combines the architectural fantasy vocabulary with a dynamic figurative element: a large scaled serpent or dragon with spiral ram-like horns and expressive eyes coils its body through the cityscape, threading between domed buildings, minarets, arched doorways, and staircases. The creature's sinuous scaled body serves simultaneously as a figurative subject and a compositional device, unifying the dense architectural detail with a single flowing movement across the picture plane. The Middle Eastern and Byzantine architectural backdrop features onion domes, pointed spires, and elaborate ornamental detailing. The palette centres on cool blues and teals with warm terracotta and copper accents on the scales, creating a vivid contrast between creature and city.<br>

Signed lower right. The dragon/cityscape combination gives this work the broadest potential buyer appeal in the series. Estimated value range for works of this type: $150 to $600.<br>
