The Blue Door

In 2009 I took my husband on a tour of Croatia to celebrate his 75th birthday.  At that time, I was still using a "real" camera.  (A few years later, I purchased an iPhone - tossed my digital camera, and never looked back!)  

I remember taking architecture photos - we were on a walking tour - I took pictures of the architecture of every bit that "fit" my criteria!  I'm not exactly sure where we were, but I know I took this photo somewhere in Croatia!

I've wanted to paint this particular scene for quite some time.  I tend to not want to buy new supplies but make do with what I have.  Thus, a rectangular photo had to be drawn on a square canvas. The challenge begins!

Tomorrow I plan to take brush in hand and have a go - wish me luck!

Roof Tops...

The Dome de Las Monjas in San Miguel de Allende.  The dome is beautiful no matter from what angle or time of day one sees it.  Designed by San Miguel's own famous architect, Ceferino Gutierrez.
