    I prefer your water colour.... whilst I am a photographer in the main, the painting isolates the subject better....
    Nice door!

      Since I sat there doodling on a dull afternoon, they have replaced the door with a new white painted one. I preferred the old one.

      I'm not a watercolour painter at all, but I do enjoy trying occasionally.

    I had hoped that the white painted door was just a temporary fix. What a shame. Nice painting, great tones in that old door.

      I still wonder why they changed the door; the old one seemed perfectly OK to me.

      I'm not sure about the 'beautiful' bit. I was amused to see that the comparison was reasonably accurate.

    I never thought of you as a water colourist. Damned stuff to use, always runs down the page for me and water everywhere.

      I don't really use it as 'watercolour', I just fill-in around a pencil drawing. Colouring-in!

      Oh yes, I do it with crayons.

    Love it Cro. I do enjoy pictures of parts of buildings rather than the whole.

      I hadn't really thought about that, but I think I agree with you. Small details of a building are usually more interesting than the whole.

    Beautiful. It reminds me of artists' travel journals.

    Doors are so interesting. The more weathered, and seasoned they began to tell their story. Lovely!

    So glad you took and painted this beautiful and thought provoking picture. It is now preserved and protected from white paint!
