The village church door.



The door.


The watercolour.

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.

The water colour is beautiful. Love the colour of the brickwork

Sue said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

Beautiful door, beautiful watercolour Cro.
Greetings Maria x

Cro Magnon said...

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

Maria said...

Beautifully accurate. X

Your water colour is indeed beautiful. A veritable work of art!

You win today's top prize....for flattery.

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

New World said...

Oh yes, I do it with crayons.

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

Cro Magnon said...

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.

Love it !

Beautiful. It reminds me of artists' travel journals.

Le Pré de la Forge said...

Absolute sacrilege..... thank goodness you captured the original!

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

Jan B said...

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

Jenn said...

Both are beautiful!
