It was easy to spot that this bright and colourful piece on a support column under the M32 was by Lis. Less easy was to interpret what is going on here so I turned to Instagram to see how the artist described the piece in her own words. The answer “Bright and tempting tree trunk portal” painted during a Bristol Mural Collective paint jam.
Lis, M32 Spot, Bristol, June 2025
The woodland theme is something that Lis clearly enjoys, along with nature too, and she has painted a couple of hallmark toadstools in the tree trunk. There is a lot of detail in the piece, and I love the depth and perspective on the signpost arrow. some woodland flowers finish the piece off beautifully. It is always a genuine pleasure to hunt down or stumble across artworks by Lis.
Now I am full swing into sharing doors from Perugia and I don’t need to write too much by way of background. I hope you enjoy this week’s selection.

I have one last set of doors from Perugia for next time, but think I will take a break from Italy after that and share some doors from English towns and cities for a bit before returning to Italy, probably in the New Year. Have a great weekend, and for those in the Northern Hemisphere… time to button up.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.
