"Tranquility in Tuscany" is another of Gary Max Collins' architectural landscapes from this beautiful Italian region.
Rose flanked stone steps lead the eye up to an almost hidden white door, where the welcome is bound to be typically boisterous. Perhaps a more sedate greeting is waiting behind the green door, or maybe the viewer will choose to walk on down the alley that passes between the white houses under a warm Tuscan sky.
Doorways in paintings can symbolize so many things: new beginnings, security, and greater wisdom for instance. Everybody needs the possibility to make a dignified exit from time- to-time too!
