Grey Eyed

John Virtues one of the masterpieces. He was a monochromatic artist and only drew in grey scale; as he argued that black gives him the opportunity to invent and re-invent, which colors might not be able to give. When looked at carefully this piece is a reproduction of late eighties or early nineties London and be it the contours of the cloud or the subtly depicted buildings, all looks fabulous in black and white.
Here is an attempt to see if the same was done through some colors. The contours look more pronounced and it somewhere reflects a time between early dawn and late night. Obviously John would have hated this, but colors at times complements the black and white.
