Paint Party Friday - Purple Sunset

First of all, look what was waiting for me when I got home yesterday! Lovely gifts from Heather of Rose Hill Designs. I had guessed where she was on vacation recently.
Thanks Heather, you made my day. And that lovely mug will remind me of Sophia too. I will also enjoy the Starbucks gift card and your New Year ACEO is precious.




Now it's time for Paint Party Friday! I did a purple sunset, largely because the next Creative Tuesday challenge is 'Purple' and I got carried away trying a few different ideas. So I decided to use one of them for today's PPF. Hope you like it.

Let's go see what everyone else did today!

You lucky thing - Heather creates gorgeous art & these gifts look wonderful.

Your sunset is full of beautiful colours and I like the way the sun seems to melt out into all the other colours.

For a minute, when I first scanned your post & saw your art I thought you'd done something for my TIC TOCC challenge where the photo and prompt included a sunset too this week:-) Great minds think alike and all that;-) Lol. I would like to see a sunset with purple like the one you've created.
