Creative Interpretations - Alley Way

You all know how I love to paint old buildings LOL. Here's a fun Alley Way.

Mostly done with my PST Tute 102.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Alley Way

Street scenes and architecture seem to be my favorite subjects. This one uses the ahb.

Here you are wandering down those dark little alleys again. Must say though that this one looks a bit brighter.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Alley Way

Just beautiful, Alan and Steve. I guess being a country girl the approximation of close neighbors holds a certain attraction for me, guys. There is also some mystery in a desire to know what's behind those doors and windows.

Really nice photo. I turned up the color, added some texture and a few brush strokes.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Alley Way

Lots of nice renditions here.. Swampy you have a way of finding things that bringing the best out of the RetouchPro folks

Been down a few ally ways like this a long time ago.. but as I remember they looked more dark and sullen way back then and not quite as pretty as your original

Re: Creative Interpretations - Alley Way

Alex... wonder night scene.
Pavel... you picked up some great textures.
OB... LOL... Where were YOU hanging out? As far as picking out subjects to paint, most folks know I am a sucker for old buildings, stucco walls, wrought iron trims, shuttered windows. There is some fascination and desire to know what lives are like behind the walls.

Finally getting around to this one - just an Impressionist quickie. Thanks for finding it, Swampy.

That's very nice, Kimlou. I like the way you have played of the highlights and shadows.
