Thank you for sharing this Karen. I was actually working on a smaller, but similar type painting from Jekyll Island, Georgia. I have been looking at it for about a week now, not sure if it is finished or if I have overworked it. So seeing this video of yours was really helpful so I can look at it and see what it is I need to do or not need to do.
Appreciate your time!
