The Worn and Colorful Door

The lower half of the entry door, in front of which the girls sit, seems a good representation of their village life. The door is worn but brightly colored. I love the colors of the Mexican culture. This will be a challenge to interpret and I'm already thinking about how to quilt a WORN DOOR. Oh joy! I have often said, after the big picture idea and the start of a piece, art is largely problem solving. So be it... it's kind of like life.

This will take some time to paint and I suspect even more to quilt with the 'perfect threads' yet to be found/purchased.

You've likely noticed I am painting this larger than the table piece on a round tabletop. I'm out of the country in an uncontrolled environment , so we just manage. ;-) I brought a large light plastic tablecloth with me, taped the underneath drawing and the top fabric to it. This way I can move the overall project around without disturbing any layer.
