    Close up, i was kind of unhappy with the amount of bleeding but i just used water no typer of medium so my fault I guess.

    Very nice! I love lighthouses and you have done a great job which has inspired me to give one a try.

    nicely done... your quilting is perfect for it. is it possible to make the bleeding look like fog?

    I like the way the bleeding looks, gives it a very artistic look. Great work in my opinion.
