Alamos Alley, 10x10
This is another 'stumbled upon' painting that was done a few years ago in Alamos, Sonora, Mexico at the home of some friends. Originally intrigued by the bougainvillea I began this with the intention of minimizing that door.....only people kept going in and out and slowly it became more interesting. One person would go in, a different one come out. It opened for a dog and two minutes later a child skipped through. This went on for the 90 minutes it took to make the painting. I have no idea what it was all about.....should have named it 'Sonoran Mystery Door'.
Anyway, I didn't like it and threw it in one of my boxes. Pulling it out today I have no idea why I originally didn't find some value in it.

Lovely doorway story. Isn't it great to find an unrecognized treasure among your rejects!
