The door at St Edward's Church, Stow on the Wold by David Stevens

Comments

Wow David, this is a superb sketch! I especially like the way you’ve depicted the glass panels over the door. Somehow I don’t think No 10 would be so intriguing. Incidentally the church is St Edwards.

Beautiful David 😍

Thank you Paul, Tessa and Faye for your kind comments. Thanks for correcting me, Tessa -I have changed the name of the church!!

Great detail in this David

Brilliant drawing David.

Thank you Neil and Russell for your kind remarks.

Super work on that door David, especially how you have achieved the effects of the wood.

Terrific drawing. I’ve not seen the actual door, I’m wondering if it’s used by the public. Or do you have to an elf or a troll to go in that way?

Thank you Carole and Lewis for your kind comments. Lewis - it is not the main entrance to the church. Not sure how often they use the door as the elm trees have really “grown” into the building.

Fabulous drawing David.

Superbly done David!

Brilliant David, the paper gives good texture too.

This is excellent David.

Far prettier than no 10! Love how you did this. So detailed

Thank you Denise, Romila, Carole, Stephen and Jen for your kind comments.

Very good and what a coincidence!

Nice work David. I suspect this drawing and Tessa’s painting will stir another load of us to visit the church!

Thank you heather and Martin for your very kind comments! The church is definitely worth another visit, as is Stow in the Wold!!

Brilliantly executed piece

Thank you, Thalia!!

Beautifully drawn David.

This is an excellent drawing. I love these doors, and have painted them a few times, myself.

Thank you George and Skylar for your kind remarks.

Very impressive David

Thank you, Roger.

Very fine pen and ink work David - I was off the site last week and only now catching up.

Thank you for your kind comment. John

Wonderful drawing David!

I was inspired by Tessa Gwynne's painting of this door to have a go at doing an ink sketch. I too visited the church about three weeks ago and photographed the door! I believe that after 10 Downing Street it is the second most photographed door in England!!
