Sage-green shutters and a rose climbing beside the door give this small limestone house its gentle character. Olive trees lean in around it, cypresses stand behind, and a still stretch of water catches the sky to the right. In the foreground, long grass full of pink and white wildflowers seems to move in a light breeze, leading the eye up toward the house.
Hung over a sofa in the living room or above the bed, it brings a soft, settled sense of the countryside into the room. It is one of nine paintings in the French Country Light collection, all showing the same stone house with its garden, orchard and pond, and it pairs beautifully with The Rose Walk and The Lily Pond.
