Doors

Always loved old doorways - I guess most painters have. This one, I think, comes from the delightful walled city of Lucca in Northern Tuscany. Why the arrow? What does it signify? And why the really gorgeous painted band? after all the arrow could have been simply painted in white... But overall its a terrific example of what I always call the 'abstract vernacular' and I've been taking pictures of it pretty much since the first time I picked up a camera in my early teens.
