A hilltop village, Montestigliano, which is an agritourismo in the Sovicille countryside near Siena. I painted en plein aire (in the open air, onsite) here many times over the years. A favorite place in Italy. In this scene, I was attracted to the planes of color and the light onboard the building and stone wall, and the shapes of the trees.
