Thank you Gary. I was able to use a lot of what I have learned so far.

It's all about "integration", isn't it?

I feel that artists get a head-start when one learns to see the similarities rather than the differences around us in the world. I think we actually define our surroundings by comparisons.

If we're in a room and we think, "Well, there's a door, and clearly it isn't like the floor, and above me is a ceiling, which is totally disconnected and different from the floor..." —where does this get us perceptually?

But if we're in this room, and our perception process goes like this, "Wow, the door, and the floor, and the ceiling...they're all part of the same room!", then we're practicing a process of "putting together".

A creative process, right?

Similarly Your,

Gary

Thank you Stygg

Yours is great too. I love the stars and the way you put a white glow behind the lettering on the building. The white glow makes the letters very easy to read.

Nice scene composition, stygg. It emotes a very nice feeling, I'm very drawn "into" the composition.

Cheers Gary and BeanPole, seeing as it is a night scene I thought I'd add a little intrigue! who's lurking just left of the entrance? The power lines and I think those are transformers, reminded me of Motorway lights here in G.B. so added a little glare from them.
