Does anyone know how long door art has been popular? I know there are some really cool

doors but I often wonder who decided I would love to have a door hanging on my wall?

I Only have one. Share your door art if you have them.

Gayle Faucette Wisbon

I love painting doors - not sure why they are so popular. I guess because sometimes doors can be a work of art in themselves.

Loretta Luglio

Here's one of mine.

Those are lovely ladies! :)

Bob Salo

Love Doors Too.....

Andee Photography

Bob that door has a lot of character.

Gene Gregory

This is literally a quick snap-shot of a gate/door I took in Sante Fe a couple of weeks ago. I am now painting it in oil. I think it is going well, and will show it here soon.

Vivian ANDERSON

Great thread, Andee....all are stunners. Here are my latest.....

Andee Photography

Gene I look forward to seeing your painting of that door when you have is finished!

Vivian your first door has a mysterious feel to it. Cool! :)

Christine Till

I always watch out for photogenic doors

~ Prague - Mysteriously Beautiful





~ Weimar - UNESCO World Heritage Site




more to come

Shana Rowe

I think door art maybe so popular because doors draw the viewer in with all the possibilities of what might be on the other side. Doors symbolize a lot, mystery, life changes etc..all very exciting.

~THE DOOR - Ceske Budejovice (made in 1553)




~ Antique doors in Budweis (also made in 1553)

Chuck Staley

I suppose this is my closest attempt at door art, but I know friends who collect it.

Andee Photography

Lots of details in may of these. I know I see door art selling a bunch every

now and again have you all sold may of your door art?

Leana De Villiers

My first and only one thus far.

~ Crucified Christ - Upper part of the entrance door to Saint Vitus Cathedral, Prague Castle

Wendy J St Christopher

I'm surprised to find that there's not a single door in my portfolio.

While I think most viewers consider them warm and welcoming, or an intriguing mystery waiting to be revealed, I find closed doors vaguely unsettling -- maybe even a little dangerous.

'The Lady or The Tiger' mentality, I guess. ;-)

It just depends on what is on the other side of the door.

Philip Sweeck

Paris doors...

Mike Savad

i've sold doors in the past, people will collect anything. and it's easier to post a picture than the actual thing.





i've had more in the past, but they didn't match my current methods, and they don't sell super well. but they do sell every now and then.

Angelina Vick

Hahaha I have no door art, so I was going to post that one John. ;)

Andee Photography

John can you imagine in that was a real house with all those doors on

it just like that and only one worked? Guess which one works? lol A thief

would have a hard time breaking in. That would be one tall house too.....

Myrna Migala

I love looking at all these doors, reminds me of when I took photos (film) long ago of doors from Virginia City, Nevada. Think when I get some time I will dig around here to see where they might be.

What a great thread this is, I was always intrigued by what might be on the other side of a door.

MM Anderson

I don't have any doors yet but I did recently add a window. I think there's a door reflected in it.

Patricia Strand

Philip and Christine, the carving on your doors is scrumptuous! Here are my rustic ones. My sister has had these old doors leaning up against her hedges for years now. They'll still be there until they are reduced to nothing by the harsh Pacific Northwest weather. I like seeing how they age as time goes by.

Xoanxo Cespon

I have a few...

Brian Wallace

Nice collection everyone.

Here's one from the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse which has now been moved to Baltimore's Inner harbor area...



I don't believe they close this one anymore (in historic Annapolis) although it appears that an actual door is attached to the frame.



Another perspective of the door(s) or at least where it should be...

Paul Cowan

A door to knowledge

A door to the past

A door to faith

A door to live behind

A door that's left once the party's over

A forbidden doorway


I had no idea I had such a doorway fetish

Antonin Gauthier

My big buddy looking through the door.

Lynn Palmer

I love doors...

Mary Bedy

I love doors. Everyone has some wonderful art here

Vivian ANDERSON

Sad testimony...........such is life

Peter Piatt

Does a car door count?

A Few Details From My Visit To Cuba

Mike England

I have a painting of doors that reminded me of the local store I use to walk to as a child, my grandmother would send me to the store for bread and snuff. And she did a lot of snuff. She'd give me a quarter for tootsie rolls, one of my favorite memories. I haven't figured out how to add an image of on the discussions, but if you get a chance go to my page and look at "Good Bread"

Vivian ANDERSON

Here you are Mike....great nostalgia here!

Peter Chilelli

Going down?

Phyllis Denton

Wow!! Lots of great door shots! Here is mine-----kind of mysterious!
