i never decided! i guess it's a magic door, that has something different behind it for every person that works out how to open it!

Doors are doors............and I like them especially when you don't know where it leads.
I like this a lot.
Well done.

Wonderful concept art!
(By the way, the best tree door I've ever seen in real life is hidden outside the Science building at Harvard University of all places.)

Great work! I love all the green. I must say that it reminds me of the door at Winnie the Pooh's house.

So simple, yet so majestic. I love how the green in the moss makes it glow.

They really give me a feeling of what is bigger than mankind in some aspects (not just size). They also make me feel at peace.

In a place like that you'd be too busy exploring nature for the internet..romantic indeed.

you live bei the rainforest. lucky you. this picture is so dreamy. we have such a little door near the village i lived when i was young. and we always drove by with the car. my dad told me that a little dwarf lived in there XD and i believed it. but it was just for mechanical stuff. i don't exactly know but something pretty unromantic ^^. the paining is really wonderfull. the only thing i dont 100%ally like is the really green green. its a bit too blueish for me. you could have added some orange/red parts to it to make it a bit more natural. but maybe this is also because of the fotograph. keep it up. your painting is lovely

thankyou! true! rainforests here are very green! even the brown bits are grown over by green! i thought about putting some little figures waiting by the door, (i will in future!) for interest & colour, but i didn't want to complicate my first attempt too much!
sometimes i miss being a kid & seeing magic in simple things like a little door or a funny looking house..

Minzile In reply to secretplanet [2010-04-26 05:45:59 +0000 UTC]
sounds beautiful! i think there might be even more magic in the picture withouth the figurs.
just because you have to imagine whats waiting in there.
