One the artistic talents that wish I had some time to learn is wood carving. There are many New Mexico artists that are wood carvers. Sometimes you come across entire families of artist and it is interesting to hear about the past generations of carvers. I am not sure of the history of this door but it sure is one I would love to have in my home.

une couleur qui flashe, une porte originale
A typical blue, I would say, for that area. I like carved wood too. This is a pattern I've seen on Indian jewelry.
You and me both!!!
That's a good example of fixing up an entry way! Such artistic skill is beyond me, so I just enjoy what others do.
Re your comment on Ocala: You have to be careful at the flea market 'cause someone might "jeep" you! :-)
Great design.
Love it Randy.
I love the blue doors. Hmmm, I wonder what they'd think at my apt complex if I painted mine ;)
A 3 day weekend sounds wonderful!
wonderful shot and angle.
love it!
Oh, I forgot to say- there are some wonderful carvings in the visual art center @ school right now- you've probably already seen them. I want one!
This blue is fantastic, I like a lot the light design and lines!
Awesome door!

Nice one!
Cool door! I'm not so sure I would have painted it that blue color but it's still a cool door.
I love that turquoise color! And the carving is great.
LOVE!!!
It would make a colorful addition to the Monday Meme Doorways. A true New Mexico shade of blue...very nice!
The carving as well as the color make this door a real piece of artwork!
That truly is a fabulous colour Randy, if I didn't have my red door..that's the other colour I'd really like.
I love that color, it is a very nice door!
It is very interesting when a family hands down a craft or skill from generation to generation. Love that blue!
What a delightful door!
I would love this door too! Lovely blue. =)
Cool!
Lots of character in that wonderful door. Makes me want to go knock on it and complement the owner!
Me too! Love the colour also.
This carving looks so New Mexican to my eyes. Nice work!
Hey... Blue doors are normally a Versailles speciality! :-))
This one is very nice, like a turquoise Navajo piece of jewellery.
Nicely done Randy.
There's a color you don't find in New England and I loved that about New Mexico, so much color!
I would also love to have that door.
That can't be easy - but I guess that's why it is so cool.
Beautiful in both color and style.
It just screams "Santa Fe!"
Both the carving and the color are fantastic!
Beautiful contrast between the blue door and the earth-coloured walls.
Great capture, Randy.
Here comes that lovely blue again! :-)
Love that color! :)
Gorgeous, love that color!
nice blue nice pic!
Does the stepped border have a special name? Love it and the color.
