Behind the Lichen-Covered Door

 A new 5x7 oil painting suggested a peak behind the door.  Added are some photographs from Mendocino in March 2016 and an original soundtrack inspired by Edvard Grieg's Bekken (Op. 62, No. 4).

Gulls at the Barn Door

The photo below the painting was shot (bad exposure) in Mendocino in 2016, and proved inspirational as the basis for the oil painting above.  The two gulls, a beautiful sunset (perhaps triggered by more unusual solar activity) and an original soundtrack were added.
