This is a view down a dark, shady alleyway in Citta delle Pieve, Umbria, Italy looking towards an archway at the end. The archway has a window suggesting a room or passageway is on top of it, linking the two buildings. Look at the bright sunshine pouring in at that end of the alley.
Citta della Pieve is a medieval walled town and this is a typical street that you will find there. The terraced buildings to the left curve round slightly towards the left side of the archway. Streetlights, vital at night in the darkness, are overshadowed by the incredibly bright rays of light hitting both the inside of the archway and the houses above it to the right.
This was a breathtaking view as I stood and looked at it. You can see how blinding the sunshine is compared to the shade in the street itself. In the winter, this means it is cold there, particularly as Citta della Pieve is high on a mountain. In the summer, though, this is a haven of cool shade and a welcome retreat from the hot sun.
Born in the South of England I now live half way up a mountain in Umbria, Italy. I work from my art studio looking out over fabulous views of the Italian countryside. I am so happy to share my artwork with you.
An artist and blogger, I specialize in photo art and acrylic painting. For my photo art, I start with my own photographs and work on them digitally to capture the feeling I want to convey with the final image. For my abstract work, I literally 'go with the flow' and follow where my heart wants to take me as I work.
I create art to make your heart smile, capturing the spirit of place in towns and villages, or creating art to enhance the energy of your home or workplace. Take your time to look through my portfolio, I hope you enjoy it.
