Sunset Painting Finished!

I finished it!  This is my first sunset painting and I created it from a picture that I previously took and posted coming back from Folly Beach.  The picture was taken from Folly Road as it overlooked one of our marshes here in Charleston, SC. 

I painted this with acrylics on canvas.  It was difficult to blend all the colors in the sunset and the
 the reflections on the water because the paint dried so quickly.  I think next time I will try it with oils or add a medium to slow down the drying time.  But, overall, it was a lot of fun to do and I learned a great deal in the process.
