Very interesting! Makes me think....I especially like the brick windows in the present life...clearly time for something new and different - - Very imaginative. Wen
Outstanding entry Cat ! Who hasn't dreamt of walking out of their hundrum everyday life into a beautiful exotic world, somewhere, somewhen else ?! Beautifully done ! Best of luck in the contest !
Very well done,Cat. Don't know why, but looking out that door, reminded me of one of the islands in the West Indies. Think it had to be the softness of the colours.
I'm so impressed Cat! I love your work here. Have you ever seen the Photoshop art of Bert Monroy? He is one of my artistic idols and he does amazing things with Photoshop. Very photorealistic stuff! You can check out his work at www.bertmonroy.com if you're interested.

Well if there were a couple of cute girls in bikini out that door, I would be out that door. However since there is pizza i'm not going.......lol Excellent work of art.
Dreamin' of a different time and place. I love the dishes in the sink and the pizza on the counter, not to mention the view from the windows. Nice idea and execution.
I think it needs the south end of a north going new lifer .. somebody for us to root for, to show us the way
I've only seen brick windows on TV .. is that a New York thing? .. what does the 'For Rent' ad say for a place like this in NY ..
Ow it's a Brick ♪ ♫ House,
it's mighty tighty, just let yer laundry hang out
it's a Brick ♪ ♫ House, keep yer boxes stacked, and that's a fact,
Ain't holdin' nothin' back, ow it's a Brick ♪ ♫ House,
336, 224, 436, ow, what a roomin!
lol… yes… it's a New York thing where you can look out a window and see the brick wall of another building directly across the alleyway.
personal viewpoint - I didn't include a life form in it because I wanted it to relate more immediately to the viewer being in the image rather than seeing someone else in it.
ty everyone for all your comments, and NO I'm not doing the dishes! What's the point of escaping your current life if you're gonna clean it up 1st? huh? huh? 8•p
Very creative and original idea and one which I too can relate too...especially like seeing those unwashed dishes in the sink, lol, and the brick wall view outside the window...while it may not be everyone's view it's certainly representative of a dead end feeling some have about their lives and how nice it would be to escape...great work and good luck in the contest.:Pat.
I like this one the best of your submissions in the contest. Nice, subtly surreal feeling. The details are intriguing. How exactly does pizza and unmade dishes relate to your subconscious? (lol! Not that it's any of mine business... It is more or less a rhetoric question. ^_^)
Hehe... I almost thought so. ;) (This side of the door represents the real life as I cunningly (not!) interpret the image. (I'm not smart enough to be that cunning...)) Hating dishes is totally normal. Or should be if it isn't. ^_^ I can totally relate.
I love this - it is pleasing to look at and it also says so much. The windows views of bricks contrasting with the freedom through the door are inspired. I think this is a dream many of us will have had in some form or another, and you have portrayed it in a way we can all understand, and identify with. Good work :)
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. - Churchill
