Well I did ok keeping the sky loose but then as I went down the card I got caught up in the details. But still I am pretty happy with this. It is from a picture I had taken of Portland Head Light many years ago. My little fence needs to be bigger, but not changing it now.

Great painting for the challenge, Pat. The sky is fabulous as is your design. Like how you left white for the crashing sea onto the land and the lighthouse and attached building have dimension and perspective. Not all watercolor has to be "loose". Your more detailed lighthouse makes it the focal point for sure. Well done!

Amazing job on this original painting. Using a reference picture really helps when sketching. Right. Sure glad you came and played in the challenge and gave us this wonderful painting for the gallery.

This is just awesome! And I don't think your fence is too small - it is only an insignificant detail that enhances the commanding proportions (and importance) of the lighthouse.
