Multi-surface painting with wood frames. 2 parts

This painting shows a pair of ascending and descending stairways in a courtyard. A brick building frames the courtyard featuring an ornate window that overlooks the scene. A tree in the center of the courtyard obscures the gridded windows of the building in the background. This painting highlights the inviting nature of the architecture leading into the space and the contrast of manufactured and natural design.
