Moon Rise Over LI Sound

Painting by Vicky Christensen, Acrylic on canvas, 12 X 16 inches

I had a hard time with this painting. I struggled with the reflections of the moon on the water. I think this might have been easier to do with pastels, but I am glad I challenged myself and painted it with acrylic paints. The inspiration was a photo from the Wet Canvas reference image library, http://www.wetcanvas.com/RefLib/showphoto.php?photo=152552.
