This photo art image depicts an atmospheric Italian scene, looking down an alleyway in Cortona in Tuscany, Central Italy where an old stone archway connects the buildings. Looking through the archway we can see ornate window grills. At the end the alleyway, a man in an Italian jacket is walking his dog. Cortona was the setting for the feature film Under The Tuscan Sun and is incredibly charismatic.
The photo on which this is based was a hurried shot, I was literally walking past the alleyway and glanced down it to see the man emerging through the doorway. My eye took in the colour of his jacket against the dark doorway, the red lead on the dog and the architecture and I quickly took a photograph. I think it came out really well and captured that moment of surprise, a splash of color and all the nuances of light and shadow in the alleyway.
Born in the South of England I now live half way up a mountain in Umbria, Italy. I work from my art studio looking out over fabulous views of the Italian countryside. I am so happy to share my artwork with you.
