door#24 (mixed media on canvas board) Quietly contemplative with sparks of inspiration and wisdom emanating softly – which the infinitely extrovert doorframe is promoting wildly! click here to shop
door#23 (mixed media on canvas board) One of those doorways we may not ordinarily notice perhaps. It’s ceased to leap into the vision of the passer-by quite as obviously as others, but I wonder if it’s hiding a whole world […]
door#22 (mixed media on canvas board) There are different doors everywhere, existing in both the physical and emotional sense. Some are camouflaged by age or elements swishing over their surfaces, making their beauty harder to find. click here to shop
door#21 (mixed media on canvas board) Do you think this door is making a smashing entrance or retreating into frozen shards? click here to shop
Delicate petals don’t seem so delicate when those blossoms are shed in whole tree-loads as winds whip through. Thorough in their execution, those brisk breezes heap great mounds of light and deep pink petals wherever they fancy, regardless of whose […]
So you know when you’re a mermaid and having an exploratory swish whilst swimming amongst all things at the bottom of the sea? Supposing that really enthusiastic swish clears a doorway which hasn’t been opened for centuries and you can […]
door#17 (mixed media on canvas board) Woodland nooks spring to mind in my post-painting reflections. Ever the mind for fanciful imaginings: I wonder just how many homes abound amongst the leaves and trunks? Click here to shop
It’s lovely to paint with bright bold colours on a winters day with Storm Dennis whirling around the bay. This makes me think of another sunnier realm where the hues aren’t muted and life seems clear. door#16 (mixed media on […]
door#15 (mixed media on canvas board) Do you think there are doors underwater too? Secret only to those who are land-based, but watery streets and residential clusters on the sea bed. Click here to shop
door#14 (mixed media on canvas board) Doors often harbour many story remnants, especially if they bear signs of layers of paint or marks on wood. Think how many snippets the doors you encounter would hear, see or sense just in […]
door#13 (mixed media on canvas board) I always imagined a sweet shop having a pink sweet-coloured door, the sugary treats oozing out of the pores of the building. Fruit salads and lemon bonbons are calling to me from beautifully lined-up […]
door#12 (mixed media on canvas board) The world of doors within doors – looks cosy inside doesn’t it? Glimpses of these layers of doors always captures my imagination, what lies within? And is the reality as lovely as it looks? […]

door#8 (mixed media on canvas board) Thought this painting would never come together today. It’s never a comfortable experience, especially when trying something new, but it stayed in that messy disjointed stage for just that bit too long. Click HERE […]
It’s amazing how even the images I set as my inspirations ages ago match my disposition each day. Today is a little faded with no all of me really visible, just like this door.
Loving the layers on door#6. Wasn’t sure at first but I’m getting into the collage layer before painting.
door#5 required boldness of colour – so boldness is what I mixed!
Here’s door#4. As always during these 30 day challenges, I’m learning more every minute that I paint. Palette knife painting is new to me, as is mixing paints with one too. Loving the new skills :)
The painting you see before you is literally buzzing. It’s a good representation of my brain right now. I painted it with great emotion, inspired by a piece of classic Spanish cinema called The Spirit of the Beehive (1972). Bees […]
