This is another photo taken while I was a Filoli Garden in Woodside, California.  Four days to go with four more doors.  Where will the next door be from?

What does Filoli stand for?

The motto from the original owners:

I love this red door.  In the photograph is was mahogany.  I think I would like this painting with or without the blue bike.  Because of the bike parked outside the red door, you wonder why the blue bike was parked there.  Inside those doors, is it someone's home or a tourist destination.

Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days "Day 1"

Happy New Year!

This is a great way to start off the new year.  I joined Leslie Saeta's thirty day painting challenge.  I have been thinking about painting a series of doors for a long time.  2014 is the year to stop thinking and start doing.  My first door painting is painted from a photograph that I took while visiting Germany.
