Original artwork description:

In front of you is a street lavishly lit by the sun. These houses, built of large stone, are often found in towns on the Mediterranean coast.
I saw this street in a small Greek town. But I have also seen similar houses in Spain and Israel. The resemblance is due to the stone. It must have been quarried from the coastal rocks.
Anyway, here's the street, and here's the picture. For me, it feels like summer, and the sea is near. And what are your impressions?

This acrylic painting captures a quiet sunlit street of weathered stone houses, inviting the viewer to step through the time-worn doorway and wander toward the glowing stairway beyond. Rendered with rich ochres, warm terracottas, and a clear blue sky, it blends nostalgic architecture with tactile texture for an atmosphere that feels both ancient and warmly familiar.
• Hand-painted in acrylic with layered impasto textures that convincingly evoke sandstone blocks, wooden shutters, and a carved threshold.
• Strong composition leads the eye from the close doorway into the luminous alley and steps, creating depth and a sense of discovery.
• Versatile palette suits modern, rustic, or Mediterranean-inspired interiors, adding warmth and quiet character to a living room, hallway, study, or boutique space.
• Ideal for collectors who love architectural scenes, European village motifs, or evocative travel memories rendered with fine detail.

Bring home the calm of a golden afternoon on a stone street where time slows and every surface tells a story. The intimate doorway in the foreground grounds the scene with tactile realism, while the sunlit stairs beckon you onward, filling your room with a steady, contemplative glow. Hung above a console or reading chair, this piece becomes a daily invitation to pause, breathe, and wander.
