Part of my series of restrained choice. I'm quite pleased how this turned out, having just colour on the door. Any thoughts anyone? Thanks. (size 8x6)

I also like the concept of this idea Gerry, and I admire your ability to create all that stone work so superbly!

Highlighting a single item in one colour has become very popular since Schindler's List, though it doesn't always work well.  Here, I think its works brilliantly  - the muted door and the not too strong stonework are very much in harmony.

I think it works very well, great drawing.

A masterful bit of drawing: and that subtle green works well with the line-work.

Thank you all very much. Encouraging comments. Much appreciated. Thank you. I'm aiming to experiment with a mini-series, using interesting doorways around the city, so hopefully I'll be sharing more. And it's getting really enjoyable having discovered pens in two greys and not just black. Thanks folks.
