My apologies to CJ - for taking the idea of this door at night. It took a while to get the effect I was after. Had to first erase all the shadows of the daylight.

I figured at night, the house would be lite up. I started working on this, figuring the light would shine out the windows. But driving home after dark last night, I realized that normally windows were only bright themselves, and didn't shine any brightness around them. You only saw light on the surrounding area if the light fixture was outside.

I did check this on both of my computers/monitors, as I wanted it to look good on both dark and light monitors.

tyeise -- no apologies necessary -- you did a fine job on yours, and you even did some homework to make sure it was correct. I didn't do that.

AbstractDoor

Thank you for a great image to have fun with and thank you for such great contributions - you are an inspiration.

I settled for putting a reflection in the windows - a beautiful pic of North American fall trees - colours are always stupendous aren't they?

Then used the Virtual Painter Filter - Collage.

Have a good day.

Great picture! Trimoon - great (your brick mason can do my house any time!)!!! CJ and Tyeise - your nighttime doors inspired me. To Tyeise I apologize for stealing your door and changing it. I had been reading something that mentioned a red light district - sooo

Stolen door from tyeise and quick light change in PSP.

Wow, there have been a lot of new pics posted here since I last checked the thread, so I want to take time to offer feedback to those who have been so busy making art!

Lacto, the swirly door version is a great idea, with nice lines and composition. I think I’d like it even better with sharpening of the swirly doors.

Steve, your door painting is excellent... as usual. And your second one has a pleasant and subtle 3D quality that I like, though I usually don’t care for embossed/rendered looks. Nice work.

EB, those bold lines and colors work great on this subject...nice!

Pam, I especially like what your treatment did to the glass on the window.

Jean, just lovely! Your added touches are wonderful!

Jill, ooooh I love the cat on the stoop at night! Lovely image!

Goldcoin, what a great new look! What is “Composer?” Who makes it?

Tyeise, your night scene is awesome! The way the indoor lighting glows through the textured glass...wow!

Alex, great b/w sketch! I’ve never seen a technique quite like that. The lines are bold but remain smooth...looks great. How did you do it?

Fishboy, sometimes your lacquer pics seem “right on” and quite pleasing. This one just doesn’t work for me...too busy, too many competing textures and colors with no apparent purpose.

Jade, I just love what VP collage did to this image! I have that program but forget to use it since it’s on my Mac Virtual PC Windows, and I tend to forget it’s there! Thanks for reminding me to get back to that again.

Bubba...red light district?

I love this picture, and the other door pics we’ve had. I just bought 16 rolls of film to take on my vacation next week. Hope I remember to keep an eye out for interesting doors and other architectural features...not enough of such photos around.

Phyllis

VACATION

Phyllis - thank you but I forget it's there too!

Have a wonderful holiday and we'll all look forward...I am sure....to some rare photos when you get home again! I have a friend who just left for Scotland/Europe 2 days ago who promised me some photos for my website.....YIPEE. Perhaps with her permission, she'll allow me to post a few "architecturals" here too. I lived just around the corner from Edinburgh Castle until my mid-20's - an area steeped in history! She hails from Edinburgh too so I expect some great photos. She wont be back until August.

Cheers

bubba - no appologies necessary. I take it as a compliment that someone wanted to use my image. <g>

Sorry to take so long to respond. I am currently in NC at my Mom's while dad is out of town and she is recouperating from surgery. I hope to be able to pop in and out this week, but my time will probably be limited.

Phyllis - thanks for your comments. In order to get the light to show right, I did a negative of the glass, so the light would show thru the right areas, then did more work around it. :-)

Everyone has been doing such wonderful stuff! I wish I had the time to comment on all of it. Just know that I love what all you are doing.

Tyeise
