Behind the blue door
This blue door caught my eye, in fact the whole facade of the building was interesting. Layers of paint that were peeling off to reveal the colours underneath, a patchwork of colour.
For this piece I wanted to layer paint colours over a piece of cardboard, I liked the idea of upcycling a piece of card that was originally part of some packaging.
I used acrylic paint for this piece, layering blues, reds and yellows over a base of white acrylic, then adding darker tones.

Where does the door lead?
Tiny doors that lead to unknown places, the excitement of the possibilities.
An old gate hidden in the undergrowth of a garden fence, leading to a secret undiscovered wilderness.
Lost places, waiting to be found.
Doors of our own making, shutting out our dreams.
Find the key.
Open the door and discover new opportunities.
