Balcone in Fiore

Balcone in Fiore"— balcony in bloom — evokes the sun-drenched romance of the Italian countryside, brought to life in California. A weathered teal double door, slightly ajar and fitted with ornate iron hardware, opens onto a wrought iron balcony overflowing with terracotta pots of red geraniums, white flowers, and lush cascading greenery. The background in warm ochres, golds, and deep umbers conjures the feeling of ancient plaster walls baked by the Mediterranean sun. Light catches the door's surface with a luminous aqua glow, creating a sense of warmth and quiet beauty. This work is a celebration of life's simple pleasures.
