When we visited Tuscany two years ago, I was struck by the beauty of the old doors in the towns and villages we visited.  Each had its own character and the quality and richness of the wood was exquisite.  This is my first painting of one of these doors.  It is available for purchase here.

This is just lovely! I love the warm colors and the beautiful depiction of the soft shadows.

Thank you so much, Diane and Karen! It is a departure for me from regular subject matter.

What a peaceful scene! Lovely lighting.

Thanks for you comment, Debra. I struggled a bit with the values, getting it to be the correct value in the shaded areas versus the strong direct sunlight.
