Hi and welcome to this month’s hand painting challenge! We want to explore the liminal spaces of doors, those ordinary, mundane passageways we all go through every day. Do you envision yourself going to another room? Country? Realm? What would that space look like? Feel like? Express the story of this door or pathway via a small diorama that focuses on the hand-painted texture aspect of it.

TL;DR: create a hand painted doorway and tag it #HandPaintedDoor
