Description
She said she had always wanted to go to Paris, but it was only a silly dream. A few days later, when he took her down to the basement, she didn't know what to expect....

The original idea was a 3 image story, but it made no sense to me and vanished. This isn't much better. The idea here is that he painted a scene of Paris on the wall. I added the pallet and brushes afterwards trying to make it clearer. The light was supposed to look like it's magically coming from the painted scene.
I'll end it here and just say they lived happily ever after.

I got it :) I think it works better as a stand-alone image than trying to continue from the previous.
Great idea ! Well done Dave
well the light coming from the wall painting looks pretty damn good to me
very very good image and a nice idea for a boring basement fantastic to do it like this.. wonderful fantasy
a very good trompe-l'oeil on that wall!
The only confusion I can think of is that the scene might be taken to be one of those magical windows that you're so well known for - but it works either way. The test is to show it to someone who hasn't seen the text and see what they make of it.
A wonderful scene of giving and kindness. Great and original! Excellent work
I like this...I really do...a back story helps so much...thanks for posting this.. ...
It's wonderful! I like this very much!
what a lovely idea! and the brush and pallet made it very clear to me. what a nice guy. :)
Great image... very well done!
I understood what you were trying to do before I read what you wrote! I just love this idea.. Very well done!
I have something more like Detroit in my basement, but I get the picture!
A fantastic idea! And a splendid scene ^_^
I think it works without the explanation.
...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh perfect.. [=
If more of the wall texture showed through the painting it would be clearer; but great concept and beautifully depicted.
Nice work!
Another wonderful window view of life. Great idea; I may be able to take my kids to Hawaii after all.
Fantastic! A great idea and piece! Wonderful!
great story and image!! excellent work on this! =)
I think the palette was an excellent idea to tie this together. It let me scan the image to figure out what was going on before ever reading the text. Nice job!
brilliant idea.
