מאחורי הקלעים של הציור

Customers of my US distributor were highly impressed with my artistic style and wanted to commission a large painting measuring 180/90 cm for their luxurious home, to hang above the sofa,
They wanted the painting to contain many houses of Old Jerusalem and the "Beith Hamikdash"
all in white and gold tones only 
I prepared 2 quick sketches for them on computer paper to outline the composition. Thankfully, they were particularly excited about one of them! We finalized it, and I hit the road 
I was quite worried! How could a painting in white and gold alone look so grand??? Without any additional colors 
I realized that I need to invest in texture and that's exactly what I did 
I used several shades of gold, along with gold leaf 
and here is the magnificent artwork before you
