I paint quite a few doors – they are a favourite subject of mine. Although if you mention that to my wife, she will sniff ‘You’re joking! I can’t even get him to paint a shelf!’

there’s a saying here that goes like ‘carpenters always need their doors fixed” .

LOL! we have a very common saying which when translated into English makes a note that the traditional Indian sweet shopkeeper will never eat his own sweets.

I have, Greg. Photos, I think, rather than paintings.

That is gorgeous. I can almost feel the door’s weathered boards and I love the vivid blue against the mulit-shaded wall.

Thanks, Laura. I’m sure it was the colour as much as anything else that made me paint this one.

Even weathered, it’s a beautiful blue. I had to look at a map, this is from a region bordering Nepal?

Yes, Bihar is one of the states in the north of India. If you’ve still got that map handy, I spent a couple of months in and around the small town of Bodhgaya, which is about 100km south of Patna. A lot of what I write about India stems from my time there.

I understand the design and the accoutrements, of course, but the blue paint threw me a little. 🙂

I saw quite a few that colour in some of the villages.
