Description

(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) On the beautiful island of Sicily, not far from Messina and high atop a hill, rests the ancient city of Taormina. Roman ruins abound in this area and the city is home to many artists who love to paint, sketch or photograph the beautiful scenery. Art can be found everywhere, as many of the shops are small, forcing the owners to display their items outside in alleys and on stairways. Here, I discovered the beauty, the colorful art, and hints of a mysterious past on these ... Sicilian Steps.

I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.

PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.

Many thanks and best wishes!
