This watercolor painting was inspired by a visit to Assisi, Italy. There was a convocation of Franciscan monks later that day, but during the morning one could see the monks exploring this beautiful hilltop town.
I took the reference picture looking through a barrel arch which formed the entry into this sunny alley.

The Italians often have flowers in window boxes and pots lining the balconies and sills and outside their doors.
