This beautiful card came from Robyn in Tuscany. I'm afraid my scanner hasn't captured the colours at all well but the stone walls are painted in a range of very delicate pinks and soft browns which seem to radiate with the warmth of the Tuscan sun! I love the shadows playing across the blue/green door and it's all been painted so delicately.
On the back Robyn has written "This is the door to the old convent house we rented when we first arrived in Castiglion Fiorentino. I stop by often because it is now owned by friends but mainly because it holds such great memories of our first year in Italy with an open fire, two dogs and no television!" Isn't that wonderful? Now I want to open the door and go inside!

Such a sunny, warm and inviting doorway and so specially personal to Robyn, lovely card!
Whenever I see Robyn's paintings I am ready to fly off to Italy. This one is so inviting.
So lovely. I agree--this totally makes me want to head to Italy.
Another tiny piece of the perfect setting of Robyn's sometimes whimsical, always enticing artwork.
That doorway is great! Lovely colour combinations!
A lovely snapshot of an intriguing corner.
lovely! and I too want to get on the next plane
I am also reminded of our trip to Italy everytime I see one of Robyns cards! I love this one and the story, wish I could visit here!
Every time I see a card from you Robyn, I start planning my trip to Toscane!And once again, I have my pen and notebook at the ready...start planning so I can go and see all your Toscane color and flavor!
