I am new to the world of blogging. I opened this blog in order to expand my art course work and to use different medias, over the course of my blogging life (which begins now) I will post photos of my art and what I do. At the moment I am working on a project based on doors and what they can lead to. Enjoy!
This door was found on a restaurant in my local town called Market Harborough. I like the colour scheme of it, and how the glass is extrememly reflective. The colours aren't warm, but different, and somehow inviting.
This door caught my eye because it was surrounded by a huge developement of modern homes in Market Harborough. The brickwork above the door was particularly interesting, as was the stone display around the sides of the door.
I saw this door in a neighboring village called Clipston. The way it was surrounded by trees, as well as having dark panelled glass and steps leading towards it made it quite mysterious and foreboding..
This door struck me as being really cute. With it's blue paint, and miniature glass windows it reminded me of a beach side hut (except the fact that it was in the middle of the country side in East Farndon)!
This door makes a really beautiful entrance to the house. Situated in a local village called East Farndon, I find the matching plant pots are really tasteful. The whole porch says a lot about it's owner: judged on appearances!
I decided to photograph this door because despite being the same colour as the door above, it gives off a very different message. I find it hard to imagine the people who live in this home - either very old, or very young. The twisted and untame ivy and other creeper plants give it a very cottagey feel, I can see it would be the most perfect place to spend cold Christmas evenings in!
Church doors are always different. This one (Our Lady of Victories) is quite modern, but the stained-glass windows have been put in place when the church was renovated. I like the fact that this church uses paler wood than most, and it seems clean and welcoming, quite unlike the cemetery-style churches people usually think of!
This church gate left a lot to be imagined! From Saint Dionysus Church in Market Harborough I found this door very daunting, even by standing in front of it I felt it's presence! The tough iron gate adds particular effect. This door seems odd for a place of worship and begs the question of what used to happen in churches before my time..
The theatre door is a very basic door. It does not display any sign of grandeure or luxury, which is odd seeing as theatre's are usually places for people who have the money to enjoy leisurely activities.
I love the rugged look to this door. Despite it being the most modern door on this blog so far, it seems to be the most worn down. I don't know what this says about society nowadays but it certainly says a lot about the quality of buildings of the modern century.
I found that the door above was very rugged and unmaintained. I decided to edit it some more to create something more interesting. The pink colour is very feminine which contrasts greatly to the rough style the door gives.
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog, I hope it has interested you as much as it has helped me to put my ideas forward in a creative way.
Happy blogging!
