The French (and Italians) take great pride in their property entrances. Most homes have lovely shutters and some sort of colorful planters out front. It is their personal signature that they live there and take pride in their home. This is a pen/ink/watercolor I did of one of those homes close to where we stayed. Whoever lives here does a bang up job in decorating their entrance. It was so lovely to see, I had to do a little painting.
