I owe a huge "Thank You" to Mike Kelley (www.mpkelley.com), an Architectural Photographer working from Los Angeles. He put his technique for Light Painting into a video tutorial, which I have studied and practiced over the past month.

The photo shoot took about 90 minutes. The Photoshop compositing of 40+ images took about 6 hours! Viola!
Here is the base layer "before" image:
