Portals to the past

In June 2015 I did the Coast to Coast walk from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire, a total of almost 200 miles over 16 days.  I identified one portal for each day of the walk and gathered  historical background information  and photographs as reference material for the final paintings.  

A series of paintings based on old doors located across Europe.
Each doorway tells its own story in the marks left on the wood or stone.

During the spring of 2015, I joined a group following the North Wales Pilgrimage from Basingwerk Abbey in North East Wales to Bardsey Island at the western tip of the Lleyn Peninsula.  The portals represent some of the locations along the new long distance path.
