CathyO #14 and 15

 #14 - I have been on a trip and am trying to catch up!!  Sorry for multiple posts!  While staying at my sons home I gathered up some of his treasures for a still life.

#15 - And another!

#5, Ponce doorway

On the windward side of Puerto Rico, a few miles inland, is the old Colonial town of Ponce.  On an afternoon stroll I photographed several interesting doors - reminding very much of New Orleans.  This is one of them.  I wanted to indicate the play of shadows in the recesses from the bright sun light.  Regretably, I didn't pay attention to the paint I was using (being more intent on the color!!) and used D-R Quin. red which did not stay where I put it!!  It bled into my shadows, which I intended to be clear.  Almost threw it away and then remembered that we are painting for quantity and not quality!  So here it is!  And I certainly learned a few lessons with this one!!
