Nice Mario! :bigthup
The simple often becomes beautiful by itself.
The moon, and maybe her reflection in the water, could be fitted without changing much of the final set.
Perhaps the skyline would look better if it were horizontal.
A beautiful composition! :paint

Hi Akros
You are absolutely right,the horizon should be horizontal, but my mouse insists on not doing straight lines :)
Thank you very much for your advice

Hi Mario!
Although it was a reasoned commentary, I confess that the irregularity on the horizon check more beauty to this composition. :spock
Beautiful use of gradients and choice of colors! :paint

I LIKE!!! Makes me think of the old Netscape Communicator browser. The logo was a lighthouse but was different from yours (of course). I really miss that browser. Loved it.

It is true Oregonian
Communicator was a great browser, many good programs have fallen by the wayside
I remember an old editor for msdos named DB, I remember it came with "Borlan Pascal", still today i miss this editor

Yup, Netscape Communicator was cool in it's day!
Communicator is more or less reborn as SeaMonkey.

I love your stuff, Mario!

Nice work. For a straight horizontal line, after clicking on your starting point, hold down shift (straight line) and ctrl (specific angles) and move your mouse to where you want the line to go to. :)

Hi Erisian

I know the trick
The problem is that if you paint one horizontal line on a drawing in which all lines are crooked, the only thing you see is the straight line :)

Thanks

Well crooked adds character. I like it just the way it is. :)

The drawing looks nice, I think the black lines are a bit too bold, though, but that can be preference. :)
