Along the Appian Way

      Inspired by my recent trip to Italy, I have just completed a painting to add to my "luminous light" series.

"Along the Appian Way" is a driveway directly off the original part of the road dating back to Roman times. The large blocks of black stone are very uneven on this stretch of the Appian Way and the cars slow down to a crawl over the bumps.  I almost missed this beautiful tree lined entry as I dodged several cars who drove up on the sidewalk, hoping to avoid the rough roadway.

       But it was the light that stopped me. The hazy late afternoon light was further diffused by the ancient trees. The soft glow at the end of the lane called for weary travelers to come home. Can't you imagine an ancient Roman villa just around the corner.
