The play of light and shadow across the stone steps and walls creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of a quiet Mediterranean village or Southern European countryside. Avery’s skillful use of subtle colour variations brings the sunlit textures of the stone and greenery to life, while the splashes of colour from the flower pots add a touch of vibrancy. The gentle perspective and softened details lead the viewer’s eye up the steps and into the distance, evoking a sense of peaceful exploration.
