Old-town alley

The semi-realistic watercolor painting depicts a narrow old-town alley with hanging laundry and worn plaster walls, rendered through soft washes of faded peach, limestone gray, and cobalt shutters with gentle ink splatters that suggest breeze and age. The frame is slightly angled from cobblestone level, leading the eye through the passage as it dissolves into warm atmospheric light. Sunlit upper walls glow in warm cream while the alley floor remains cool and shaded, creating a scene of intimacy, history, and lived texture.
