"Sunday Morning
in Orvieto"

18" x 23.5"

Talk about "old world charm." It's Sunday morning, the shops have not set out their wares yet and not a tourist in sight. This piece was a challenge in perspective as each building twists and turns its own direction as your eye wanders down the alley. The hard lines of the architecture are broken up by several potted trees and plants, which helps to create a feeling of depth.
