Doorway, Stone c. 1940

"Doorway, Stone" is a watercolor by Juanita Donahoo, dating back to around 1940. The artwork depicts a weathered stone doorway, likely from an ancient structure. Donahoo's meticulous brushstrokes capture the texture of the stonework, highlighting the passage of time through chipped edges and eroded surfaces. The detail of a single red brick embedded in the wall suggests a history of repair and adaptation, adding another layer to the sense of time and decay. The artwork's muted color palette enhances the sense of age and the quiet solemnity of the scene.
