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.
