Door#7..The Red Door Knob

Thank you so much Jenny…so nice to see you.. :))

It is actually a front door, as I described in the writing attached, but I guess it could well be an old cupboard door …thanks for putting that idea in my head…I will probably do a cupboard door too…I am imagining it already…thanks so much for that insightful comment Catherine…

It’s a painting in watercolour, and I’m thrilled to know that I made it so convincing, you thought it was a photo…thank you so much…

How nice Sneha…thank you so much… :))

Thank you so much Kim…I’m glad you like it.. :))

Thank you so much Claudia… :)))

Thes are the types of paintings I’m known for DD…it’s what I love to do best… thank you so much… :)))

Welcome Varry…thank you so much… :))

Welcome Karly…so nice of you!!..thank you so much… :))

Painting layers on layers of different colours and adding shapes and edges, adds authenticity….using gessoed board helps too… thanks so much Linda…I’m glad you like it. :))

How nice of you Bev…thank you so much.. :))

Thank you so much Leslie…it’s getting to be mine as well..till the next one… :)))

How lovely of you to say so!!..I’m thrilled at the response to this door which was originally not part of my plan, as I was only going to do hardware…no I am thinking of doing more with painted wood along these lines….thank you so much Joanne…. :))

I love that “wonderful”...thank you so much… :))

Thank you so much Sally….that “awesome” means a lot… :))

Thank you so much Susan….I am very happy you like it and saying “fantastic” means a whole lot to me… :))

How nice to see you Els…thank you so much…I’m really happy you like it…

Thank you so much Alison..I love painting textures and I plan to do many more…. :))

The feeling of up at the cottage or the old farm..thank you so much Bev.. :))

Thank you so much Heloisa for that Bravo..I love it… :))

Your comment is very welcome and I truly appreciate it…thank you so much… :))

I take photos from about one ft. away from the paintings, so you are able to see them quite well, just as if you were seeing them in real life..this one will be going to the framers very soon, and I hope they have the right style of frame…something very rustic is what I have in mind to match the texture…I already have a buyer for it, but I kind of want it for myself, as it suits my sun room perfectly…I’m glad you like it…thanks so much Karin…

Welcome and thank you so much.. :)))

How nice of you Caroline…thank you so much… :)))

But this was my actual plan… to start with the hardware only and then move into the textures of wood and metal etc…Door #7 above, typifies the kind of textured work that I have been known for over the years and besides food, is what I love to paint best…I had not planned to post them initially, they are meant for something else…but here they are….
On RB, because I am selling to a vast arena with different preferences, I have done many different series, so that there is something to match everyones tastes…e.g. there are people who are crazy for the food images and don’t care about doors, those who love my Tropics and never look at anything else and those who love only my dark symbolic images…
So it will always be a mixture of a lot of different subjects, but I think from now on you will see a lot more of this type of painting, as I work towards the show…
Thanks so much Amy for your continued support and valuable help….

Watercolour on gessoed board, done in many layers, but not fully covering each one… using dry brush techniques, and then adding and defining shapes and edges..thank you so much Ciska….

Thank you so much Danita…I will be painting more of these… :))

There is nothing like having the brush and paint in your hand…thank you so much Simon…
