I am not at all surprised that your Mom-in-Law Loves it, I love it .
Your attention to detail is fabulous and I greatly admire your diligence in creating swatches,practising etc. I do feel it really paid off and you will get faster with practice and with discovering what works best for you

This is a very accomplished piece .

Re: North Head - Finished

It turned out fabulous! The weathered sides of the lighthouse, the mesmerizing waves of the ocean...makes me want a vacation by the sea!
As a fellow Colorado-dweller, it is nice to see ocean every once in a while!

What a stunning piece! Love your ocean and sky, colors on it and the well detailed lighthouse.

Re: North Head - Finished

Thank you all so much for looking at this piece and sharing your comments.
You are all very kind people: Chammi, Sean, Pam, Johanne, Karen, Ali,
Candle, and Agnès (and I forgot to thank Trish and art.lover earlier).

It's clear I'm my own worst critic! I genuinely would appreciate any
suggestions you may have for improving my work.

Pam - I haven't tried ZestIt, just some Goo-Gone (can't remember if I
used any on this piece). Goo-Gone works great applied with a blending
stump, but I'm afraid it might not be acid free since it's made from citrus
(citric acid). I ordered some "natural" (non smelly) turpenoid, so will try
that sometime.

Candle - yes, I too enjoy those sea-side vacations--the ocean is so far from
us in Colorado...don't get to see it very often, do we?

all the best,
Karen F.
