Tuscan Steps

As often happens, I started this piece several years ago, but put it away in a fit of "painter's block".  I was just having trouble getting it just right.  So, I gave it, and me, a vacation. This year, I decided to bring it backinto the forefront and finish it up.

I'm glad that I didn't give up on this one.  Ever since I saw and purchased the image, I was taken by the colors, in particular the play of the warm back wall and the cooler well base and steps purples.  They realy make the piece pop, in my opinion.

So, sometimes a vacation is good. And, sometimes bringing something that didn't seem to work in the past back into play in the present ends up with a good result.
