My favourite derelict house on Halki...a real beaut owned by an Athenian family. It is full of faded splendour.
Ya know....there is a harsh reality in life that we all need to understand or sometimes we are forced to understand and that is simply - that life is not always fair. It's just not. Sometimes things happen that are out of our control and sometimes things happen because of something we have done, something that we cannot take back. I think the mistakes we make where we have to own what we have done - are the hardest to make peace with. We caused life to take a turn and we are responsible for our circumstances. And sometimes this is the hardest thing to resolve within ourselves. Sometimes we make an error and the punishment does not fit the offense. This can cause us to become bitter or resentful and finding a way to let these feelings go and make peace can be difficult. But, if you believe in yourself and make amends for your part then you have done your part. You need to take a deep breath, let go and leave it in the past. Life goes on and you have to move with it. If you believe in a higher power, I truly believe that good will come out of your circumstances. Easy to say when you are in the midst of turmoil but you have to have faith. I wholeheartedly believe that when one door closes another one opens. Sometimes the new door leads you to something that is even better than anything you could have imagined. Have faith. For those struggling with an error or a mistake, know that there is always another door to walk through. You just have to open it. Paula
"Venetian Door Study" Original Watercolour by Jean Haines There is a saying that when one door closes another one opens. In my life another three seem to open and all at exactly the same time! I have so many requests and decisions to make that my priority is time to paint first daily and everything else falls after that. Recently I was asked to make a DVD which will be out this autumn. In it are several demonstrations on techniques covered in my book " How to Paint Colour and Light in Watercolour". One is a very old tip for painting straight lines. Because I never use a preliminary sketch I don't have the necessary guidelines to lead my brush when working on architecture. Many of my landscapes and buildings include very old buildings where outer edges would hardly be seen as perfectly straight. In fact the odd uneven line often adds charm and an appearance of age. But there are times when I do want a straight line and I know some artists coming to my workshops do too as they may prefer a more exact painting with precise detail in sections. So how do you get the perfect straight line in a watercolour without using a ruler? Simple! Lay a piece of card with a straight edge on your paper and paint along the edge. Then very quickly work away from it with the same colour. Lift the card very carefully which I have demonstrated on my DVD and there you go. A straight line! It's easy when you know how. By the way I rarely work with straight lines, I prefer the ones with character! ***************

Old Pune in a few words to me is where time stops but the traffic doesn’t, is where the people return your smiles and the decaying wooden facades are not just gateways but time machines into an India of the past. Read more about it here.

There are a few cities in the world with a concentration of antique wooden culturally hybrid doors like Stonetown, Zanzibar. A fusion of Swahili, Arab and Indian portals abound. Large brass studs first serve as spike covers against elephant raids although the small ones pictured hare are of course just ornamental. The rounded tops, or lintels, are of Indian influence but the owner is definitely Muslim because of the Koranic plaque. The repetitive lotus design is an Oriental motif as well.
