Shinwai Temple (oil, copyright 2011 by A. Dameron)
This Chinese-style temple is based on a traditional design, with red tiles and golden curved eaves. At dusk, the mystical properties of the temple light it up like a beacon, to guide the faithful home.
Kemeti Archives (oil, copyright 2011 by A. Dameron)
A combination of Middle Eastern and Mesoamerican architecture: the horizontal base typical of a Mayan step pyramid is capped by an onion-shaped dome. Four minaret towers surround the building like watchful sentinels. The bright orange/teal color scheme makes it stand out against the desert background and the river in the foreground.
