I was about to tell you how great this yellow door is but then I saw you already had 70 comments so I figured you didn't need another one. Besides, what could I tell you that you haven't already heard?

Thomas !.....Thank You. I am so honoured by your so thoughtful response to my artwork, this Yellow Door, its symbolism, that you understand from your depths....Yes, a time-twisting portal , yes, the heart rending choices, yes the poetry........all all were my inspiration, and that you KNOW, is the highest honour for me. Thankfully, yes, the touch of blue...the symbol of Hope... you are so special to give me your time and thoughts, and I thank you, truly, from my depths............VIVA

A Yellow Cellar door, so iconic a creation, as Cellar Door is beautiful to the ear — in opposition to its prosaic meaning — has been made by and attributed to a wide variety of writers over the years. “Poetry, in fact, is two quite distinct things,” H. L. Mencken wrote in a 1920 magazine column. “It may be either or both. One is a series of words that are intrinsically musical, in clang-tint and rhythm, as the single word cellar-door is musical. The other is a series of ideas, false in themselves, that offer a means of emotional and imaginative escape from the harsh realities of everyday.” More recently, the superior sound of cellar door was mentioned in the 2001 movie “Donnie Darko,” in which a cellar serves as a time-twisting portal.

Another spectacular creation, the little touch of cerulean blue just brings it up to another level, very, very NICE !!!!!!!!!!!
