Today’s Prompt: Draw a mysterious doorway or staircase.
One thing of many that I found striking when traveling abroad is how differently doors, doorways, entryways appear.
When my husband and I traveled to Malta, we were immediately enamored by the narrow, brightly covered front doors of the dwellings that only had about a foot clearance to the main road.
Each door was incredibly inviting and stood out among the stone walls. They were beautiful and were works of art in and of themselves.
This care taken with front entries suggested that behind this door there lies more than meets the eye. That you must enter because if you don’t, you will miss out on an adventure, on new insights, on a sprinkle of magic. And, you have a choice! Will it be the red door with the narrow slots at the top? Or, maybe the weathered blue door with raised wooden panels and touches of black filigrees?
I loved this about Malta, and many other places I visited. It’s welcoming and enchanting.
So today, draw a mysterious or ornate doorway. You can always use a door in your own dwelling and add to it! Or maybe you will search online for ‘mysterious doorways’ and work from an image. If you want, you can work from the image in this post!
And, if you feel so inclined, add a little caption or story that hints at what is behind the door or up the staircase.
