Palms | LOL yeah... funny when I think about it I did technically do my first digital drawings with Mario Paint. 
Now being inspired by Pstewart's nighttime approach, here is mine. I added some very light opacity cloud layers by using the fade and then by using the curves on the red channel. Oh and also used a very light pattern fill for a little more texture. I then painted in the lighting, stars, and smoke from the chimneys using a light soft brush. |

| | | I really like that night shot twinkissed. It reminds me of a british Christmas card. Starry nights and no snow! |

| | | Thanks. I kinda had a Christmas evening in my head when I did it. I finally have my mouse fixed so I could probably do it now but I was going to attempt a cat looking at the lit door but my cat was looking like the blob so decided not to go with that. Ha funny, my mouse was destroying the cat so to speak. |

| | | Thought I could try my hand on this great selection of the village by Danny. There were about 44 great interpretations and renditions of it. To me those of chiquitita, Trimoon stand out, as I like that style. Also that of lkroll "Thomas Kincaid" style, great job there.
My rendition was done entirely in Painter 9. I was in the past getting tired, of jumping from one software to another, so I am kinda trying to do it all in one software or the other. This is a watercolor rendition ! |

| | | I can't be the first genius to come up with this technique...it came to me earlier today and this image looked like a good guinea pig to test it on.
I ran Impressionist>linear brush (in CS2) four times on separate layers. I tweaked a lot of the settings; all four layers were identical except for brush orientation. One had horizontal strokes, one vertical, one 45deg SW-NE, the other SE-NW. I added hide-all layer masks to all 4 layers, then painted them back in with varying opacities where each direction seemed to be appropriate, mixing them in places where there wasn't a clear direction suggested..
As an afterthought I added another layer under the other 4 and buzz-simplified it. Then I lowered the opacity of the top 4 layers a little to let some detail show through.
