The door is a powerful symbol of many things in our world. We see new beginnings and new transitions as we enter or go into an unfamiliar place. As I travel around the world the door has much the same meaning in every culture even though we use different words as we describe or speak about it, however in Christian iconography the Door has become a symbol of forgiveness, salvation, transformation and entrance into the eternal.

I found this old door on an Ohio farm building and like many others I’ve painted, it tells it’s own story of the passage of time and change. Parts of it have fallen away and time has weathered and changed its surface. We can speculate as to what has caused all the scars and punctures, but only knowledge of this place and someone who has lived here really knows the whole story. Yet, as artistic form it has its own integrity of meaning woven into the patterns, colors, and textures we can admire and enjoy for what it is in the present.

This scene comes from the same part of Ohio where we discovered the “Grey Mares”. We were watching a herd of deer in a field but as I moved closer, one doe sensed me and headed for the thicket. I got a wonderful shot of her just before she entered the woods and later when I saw the photo it brought back this moment I wanted to paint. There was almost a phantom quality about the doe before she disappeared as if she could be perceived but existed only in spirit.

I believe art is about seeing things that bring back feelings and memories, then bringing those things to life in a painting. This is what artistic vision is about so I hope you will enjoy experiencing this new one.
