Doorway

I spied this reference photo in the reference image library (RIL) at Wetcanvas a long time ago and I even sketched it last year with the thoughts that I would eventually paint it. So, when I was looking for some inspiration earlier this week I decided to give it a try on good watercolour paper and my Daniel Smith paints (the granulating ones are perfect for rendering stone). I really love how it turned out... and was a nice watercolour break from all the birds lately.
