Jordan Millworks (aka Garage Doors) is an interesting story. I was raised in Groton, MA. The home I lived in had a huge garage. On that garage was a pair of huge black doors. Those doors did big things. Really big things. They gave the neighborhood a place to gather during the big events held in the park across the street. They gave the boys in the neighborhood a place to do really big experiments behind them when they were closed. There were bikes, wagons, rockets, tools and fishing poles. There were things going on behind the doors that only parents during that period had the patience to endure.

So what were these doors, that I grew up in Groton, MA, doing hanging on my brother's garage in Lincoln, ME? And why didn't he know where those doors originated?

It took me two summers to chase this story down. And when I finished, I had no choice but to paint these doors. I hope you can experience how ecstatic I felt when I uncovered their past! I enjoyed creating this painting. I hope you enjoy owning it.
