Elena Merlina - Paint The World Tour
Paint The World Tour
Hi there - my name is Elena, an Italian Artist sailing the globe. Join me on my Paint the World Tour to discover how I'm using driftwood to showcase my travels
MessageCollection: 5. Door collection
I’ve always had a fascination with well used weathered doors, just like old majestic trees, they gather energy over time and have a presence about them. It seems like the older cultures placed more significance on their doors than the newer and more modern ones. Color, shape, size, ornaments, etc all were relevant and carried meaning - in those times people basically paid attention to doors and they were important to them.
Driftwood boards are the perfect canvas for these doors as they too have gathered energy with miles and years at sea. This combination of energy makes it a joy to paint these doors. I particularly enjoy adding some hardware (door knobs, knockers, locks, hinges, metal plates etc) to the doors if appropriate. Make sure you have a close look - some are painted on and some are real! Enjoy!
