/ I find the patina of age very intriguing and exciting to recreate in paint…I always have cuts of MDF and Masonite primed with gesso waiting in the wings, ready for when inspiration hits me…lately I’ve been preoccupied with doors and things to do with doors….I made this door old…very old…it has withstood the test of time and all kinds of weather and has been painted many times, attesting to a tale of many owners…lately someone dressed it with a shiny new red door knob…why? if it could talk it would tell many stories.... Watercolour on Gessoed Masonite “Too little has been said of the door / It’s one face turned to the night’s downpour / It’s other to the shift and glisten of firelight”...excerpt Charles Tomlinson / Door #6 / Door#5 / Door #4 / Door#3 / Door #2 / Door #1

Third Place in the “Out My Window” challenge in That’s Entertainment! June 10, 2009. / Featured in Backyard Photography June 7, 2009. Best Viewed Full Size Image taken on top of Blue Knob Mountain in Claysburg, PA, at dawn on May 8, 2009. The view from our deck. BillFox256 added this wonderful verse from Louise May Alcott with his comment earlier that, with his permission, I’d like to include here for everyone’s enjoyment: “Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.” Taken with the Nikon D40x and the 18-200mm vr Nkon/Nikkor lens, handheld. Shutter speed 1/25, aperture f/14.0.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, / Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, / Silence the pianos and with muffled drum / Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead / Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, / Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, / Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, / My working week and my Sunday rest, / My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; / I thought that love would last for ever:...I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; / Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; / Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. / For nothing now can ever come to any good. Auden “Door #9” evokes one of my most favourite of Auden poems…full of the passionate cri de coeur of a lover who has lost his/her love and speaks in the throes of overwhelming grief and despair….it is agonizing to read…the lover is gone…death? maybe not …just not here…no not here.... / I think many of us can identify with the powerful imagery in Audens verse…the cry in the last line resounds…it is a bitter cry straight from the heart Watercolour on Saunders Waterford Rough Paper.. / The lock in the middle of the wood panel symbolizes more than just a door that has been closed for long time..it is the end of something and there is no going back…the lock is rusted and there is no longer an opening. / “Nine is a very significant number, and references to it occurs in mythology, the occult, the Bible, to name a few, and in mathematical science it possesses properties and powers which are found in no other number….it is the number of finality or judgement”....from my painting 9 / The Key / The Red Doorknob / Door #6 / Door#5 / Door #4 / Door#3 / Door #2 / Door #1

I spent half a night, most of a bottle of vodka and most of my favorite graph pen to bring you this… thing… I’m also posthumously dedicating it to Danny, who shunned my affections toward him and eloped with Mr. Ping Pong Letterbox. I hope your pina colada has spray adhesive in it. I am prepared to take you back if you are trouserless. Lady P models this fine piece whilst trying to take back Bollywood… / This is me and the midget exhibiting this piece of wank /

/ “Door #4” is part of the Collection “Everyday Things” and is of course the fourth door…like Doors 1 and 2, it is not a painting, but a drawing, this time in Conte crayon…I love door knockers and refuse to add a bell to my front door…I polish mine so that it shines a welcome to all, but I made this one a bit oxidized, a little verdigrised to add some texture and interest to the painting…I never want to make it too literal... Conte crayon drawing on Clayboard Knock with tremor.. / These are Caesars.. / Should they be at Home / Flee as if you trod unthinking / On the Foot of Doom These receded to accostal / Centuries ago.. / Should they rend you with “How are you” / What have you to show?

/ ‘Is there anybody there?’ said the Traveller, / Knocking on the moonlit door; / And his horse in the silence champed the grasses / Of the forest’s ferny floor: / And a bird flew up out of the turret, / Above the Traveller’s head / And he smote upon the door again a second time; / ‘Is there anybody there?’ he said. / But no one descended to the Traveller; / No head from the leaf-fringed sill / Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes, / Where he stood perplexed and still. / But only a host of phantom listeners / That dwelt in the lone house then / Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight / To that voice from the world of men: / Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair, / That goes down to the empty hall, / Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken / By the lonely Traveller’s call. / And he felt in his heart their strangeness, / Their stillness answering his cry, / While his horse moved, cropping the dark turf, / ‘Neath the starred and leafy sky; / For he suddenly smote on the door, even / Louder, and lifted his head:- / ‘Tell them I came, and no one answered, / That I kept my word,’ he said. / Never the least stir made the listeners, / Though every word he spake / Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house / From the one man left awake: / Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup, / And the sound of iron on stone, / And how the silence surged softly backward, / When the plunging hoofs were gone....Walter De La Mare The above poem is another of my favourites…I read it over and over again, picturing the dark night, the traveller knocking at the old door in the moonlight, and no answer but the echoes of spectral ghosts on the stairway inside… / There have been many different interpretations of this poem, (I have copied one below), but I think that if we chose a literal interpretation, it seems like it’s the middle of war and the traveller is bringing a message, but he is too late…they have all gone or are dead… / I chose to paint it as a semi abstract, painting a vignette of the door panels with three large iron rivets, (a triangle) to give a sense of massiveness, of a fortress or citadel, with just the glow of the moonlight in the centre, all the rest fading away into blurred ochres and siennas…to avoid being literal, I did not include a knocker…he would have used a staff or stick anyway... Watercolour and Acrylic on Saunders Waterford Rough Paper.. Below is one of the theories about the poem… The theme of the poem is the place of man in a universe which is far greater than he, and which he can neither connect with nor understand. It focuses on man’s state of isolation and disharmony with the natural world. Nature, as represented by the horse placidly munching on the grass and the bird frightened by the man’s disturbing clamor, is normally serene – it is only man who is anxious because of his separateness. The traveler tries to overcome his aloneness and establish meaning by fruitless seeking (knocking) and responsible living (keeping promises), but the natural world remains unyielding in keeping its distance, and the traveler continues on alone.

This is the third painting of door knobs, in the new Collection of “Everyday Things”…in watercolour this time and less structured than the first two, this shows the door knobs from both sides of the door, set in a triangle as I do in all my Still Life paintings…I love the patina on the brass and before I started to paint, I was astonished to see that the colours of some of the items on my painting table were reflected in it…so of course I included them... Watercolour on Saunders Waterford Hot Pressed Paper.. It went many years, / But at last came a knock, / And I though of the door / With no lock to lock. I blew out the light, / I tip-toed the floor, / And raised both hands / In prayer to the door. But the knock came again. / My window was wide; / I climbed on the sill / And descended outside. Back over the sill / I bade a ‘Come in’ / To whatever the knock / At the door may have been. So at a knock / I emptied my cage / To hide in the world / And alter with age... R. Frost / Door #2 / Door #1
