Select the remaining gateway shape and Arrange > Break Shapes. Apply Linear fills to these 2 left and right gateway sections.
The inside of the gateway does not look quite right. Adjust the top and sides as shown above using the Shape Editor Tool. Apply the Flat and Linear fills as shown.
The rectangle above the gateway is a heavy wood beam. Select the rectangle with the Fill Tool and select Fractal Plasma from the Fill Type drop down list. Apply the colors and adjust the fill path arrows as shown to simulate wood grain. Click the Profile arrow on the Infobar and from the drop down list of Profiles, select Profile 4 which increases the contrast between the two colors . Add a one point outline from the Width drop down list using the color shown. This completes the wall and gateway and the major portion of the image.
Ristras are bunches of red chili peppers that are hung in various places in the fall (after the harvest) for decoration and I suppose for good luck. My client had requested a ristra be hung on the gateway, my guess is for good luck. Create a tall, thin ellipse. Make a duplicate and move the duplicate to the right . Rotate the first ellipse clockwise a little and the last ellipse a small amount anti-clockwise. Create a 15-step blend by dragging the Blend Tool from the center of the first ellipse to the center of the second ellipse. Change the number of Blend Steps from 5 to 15 and press Enter to apply the change. Select the blend and Arrange > Convert to Editable Shapes. Then, Arrange > Ungroup. This gives you range of rotated ellipses. Arrange them as shown on the top left. Once you have the basic ristra shape, select the ellipses and Arrange > Combine Shapes... Add Shapes. Create a new blend using the same sized ellipses but with an Elliptical fill. Convert to Editable Shapes, Ungroup and position the new ellipses in front. Drag a selection rectangle around all of the chili shapes and Group them (Ctrl g).
