Shimmering water isn't an easy thing to paint. I think I've done only a few sunset paintings in my career, and it's because the color, although true to what's actually there, always disturbs me. Probably goes back to my formative years when I did this ungodly painting of a black tree silhouette and a bright neon orange sunset in the background. I certainly hope my mom doesn't still have that stashed somewhere. Nah - no chance. Anyway - I worked this out OK, but it was a trick to get a color mix that would most directly achieve a dusky ambiance.
