This piece represents a departure for Scapple, who normally likes to create figures with her pastel work. After visiting Italy a number of times, she exhibited a group of works like this one that attempt to capture the texture and colors of the Italian buildings that have intrigued her for years. Scapple is a children’s literature scholar currently residing in Hawley, Minn.
