Chinese Temple Door

I Love painting Oriental Doors! Most of my customers ask if I am fluent in Chinese - apparently I have some skill with the symbols. To me these beautiful characters are an art form in themselves - and maybe one day I will take the time to study and translate them myself.

This piece of driftwood was found in Indonesia on an island in the Anambas group. I looks like it was a small door of sorts still with some original rusty hardware. It really is 4 separate hardwood boards with tongue & groove jointing held together with 2 crossboards - very solid and unique - and one of my larger doors.
