Paint Party Friday - Shimmer

It is the long Labour Day weekend here in Canada.  People with cottages tend to close them up around this time as the kids head back to school next week.

Welcome to Paint Party Friday!  Thanks to Eva and Kristin for always hosting us.

I hope you can see the shimmer on the water in this piece done on an index card in acrylic.  I used silver on white paint for the reflection on the water.

Here is my scan, I decided to remove the photo version based on the comments that the scanned
version is fine:

Shimmer is so hard to capture in photos... I can see it in the scanned version, which hardly ever works for me! haha
Beautiful landscape, Happy PPF!
