Another great study in perspective Denise with a spiral staircase not the easiest to draw, but you have once again suceeded in doing so, I like the composition you have composed with this and the touch of colour on the trees once again is super, another nice piece for your portfoilo on this theme.

I love the unusual composition of this one Denise, it is beautifully painted as always

Nothing strange at all, Denise - it is the artist that makes the subject, and you've really done a super job creating a beautifully composed painting here. Funny how one would not normally associate black and white with Italy, yet you capture the atmosphere of the place in every one of your paintings. This really takes me back to the days when I lived in Lugano, just across the border.

I too love steps and really admire the way you hve drawn them here - everything is right about them - another super painting Denise

I love the subject and composition. Where is this staircase taking us.....up to heaven or down to...? I'd readily go down into the garden. Any apples lying around ? Another super piece.

I agree with all the above comments, Denise. This is again a beauty. Perfect drawing and beautiful limited use of lovely warm colour touches!

These steps lead to a beautiful sanctuary known locally as 'the church of the miracles'. I know its a bit of a strange subject but then I'm strange have a liking for steps for some unknown reason ! I did this one in a day but it is only A5 size. One day I will draw the 'Sanctuary'.
