The knocker has the face of a lion, one of the main symbols of Venice. I was attracted to this picture by Ruth Archer ( used with permission) because of the great textures of the door; I have my own reference of what I think is the same door, but in my photo, the knocker is not shown entirely. My husband thinks that the lion looks rather diabolical:-) It is still too early to tell, but I hope that he is wrong...My artistic objective is not to scare anyone:-) I hope that you like it so far.
I have a busy week coming up: appointments, framing, painting, sitting at the Foyer Gallery on Thursday and getting ready for the Nepean Fine Arts League 3-day winter show starting Friday.
Have a great week!
Ooh, I envy you, getting to do all those art things this week. Would you like to trade, and you can come teach my class for a week? The painting is going to be great, I can tell! I already love the look of the door!
ReplyDeleteKatherine, I would love to be able to teach your class...the students would be quite disappointed, though:-) Thank you for the vote of confidence regarding the door!
ReplyDeleteLoving it so far! Looking forward to seeing more!!
