Rough stone steps rise between white walls toward a blue-trimmed church facade with two bells beneath a deep blue sky.

Ascent Into Blue

MG-1668

July 2022

About this piece

A steep stone stairway leads between white plaster walls to a church facade with blue trim, a round window, and paired bells. The low viewpoint and converging handrails draw the eye upward, from coarse masonry into an opening of saturated blue sky. Strong sunlight illuminates the facade while the enclosing walls hold the passage in quieter shadow.

The story

July light gathers above the stairway, bright along the white cornices and the rims of the bell openings. Below, each rough step offers another ridge of stone, another narrow band of shade. The handrails lead toward a closed blue door, while the round window catches a darker measure of sky. Two bells hang overhead, still against the brightness.
