Howard Behrens is inspired by Andalusia, that exotic and colorful province of Spain replete with Moorish influences and proud horses, for this understated, full color piece, titled "Andalusian Walkway." Behrens' genius is the ability to capture the glory and beauty of a locale through its simplicity. Here, an Italian cypress towers over the narrow sidewalk in front of stonework architecture and brightly colored trim work of the homes. A remarkable juxtaposition of supple house plants against rigid bricks is achieved while still maintaining the sense of flow of the street and market.
You can almost feel the Spanish sun beating down upon you, and smell the glorious cooking emanating from the shops and homes just out of sight. Professional, museum-quality framing makes this piece look just like an original in your home.
