"Tonight Is For Dreamers," a gouache on panel painting copyright Lesley Spanos 2008.
Gouache on canvas panel, 7 x 5"

This week’s challenge on Karin Jurick’s Different Strokes From Different Folks uses her photo of a place called Rehoboth Beach as the reference. I have no idea where that is, but I’m guessing it’s on the east coast of the US somewhere.

The photo shows the scene in full daylight, but I’ve been wanting to try a moon, so I changed the time of day to night. Not sure how successful the change was – it looks to me like a snow scene from a vintage Christmas card – but at least I tried to stretch my comfort zone.
