"Imaginary Sunset"

This was my first experiment painting sunset silhouettes. .....challenging....to say the least.
I spent lots more time than I thought I'd need to depicting mountains silhouetted against fading sunlight ...... water mirroring all.
Whenever I see artwork or photographs done this way I'm captivated; so, finally tried it. .....got to keep at it to get it just right, but I had a great time working on it. I call it "imginary" sunset because the end result looks nothing like where I was when I started the project.
It would be helpful to hear what you think and to get feedback on what would make the next one better. Thanks.

Wow. The sunset and sky are mirrored perfectly on the body of water. What's interesting to me, as well, is the seperating mountain range in black. It almost divides it perfectly even. This piece could be displayed in more then one way. Awsome palette, belnding and shading. Another great one. Go Mummer !!!!

xxxxxooooo
