Betty gave us these colors for today's challenge: Dusty Durango, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, with neutrals of choice. I used substitute colors.
These colors reminded me of sunsets on the Lake Erie where I grew up. Truth be told, I don't think we had "turquoise waters" at sunset or any other time! : ) This is an image of the lighthouse that is still in my hometown.... it is a special stamp for me. One wall of the lighthouse does have a wash of white acrylic paint.

This is really striking! You've created a gorgeous sunset with an image that has great meaning to you. No wonder this turned out so great. I am packing my suitcase as we speak, getting ready for a trip to the beach on the East Coast, so this put me in the right mood.
