I discovered this village outside Florence during my semester abroad at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I love the large white villa with green shutters and the terra cotta roof. It contrasts well with the dark green cypress trees and the distant blue hills. I added smoke on the right for balance and interest. The neutral gray wall at the bottom breaks up the green and rests your eye, while the entrance to the villa grounds creates a dark passage leading your eye to wander back up the hillside.
