Potting Stand      
With all my travel news I have neglected my painting so here is a scene from the Appian Way in Italy. Although a simple setting, it has all the elements I love, wonderful light, texture and that human touch. The side door was barred by a potting table and plants. Perhaps the occupants would open the door and work on their plants, enjoying the view of the hills. The sun was low in the west and reflecting off the pillar to the right. The plants aglow. The subtle colors and texture of the building really set off the lush greens.
