"Georgetown at Sunset" (oil, 9 x 12") is a view of Key Bridge and Georgetown from the pedestrian bridge to Roosevelt Island in the Potomac. I was captivated by the glows in the underside of the arches of the bridge. Wow! The sunset sky was equally beautiful, but the reference photo's sky came out all bleached. So for the sky, I used the second photo.
I wish I could have painted the scene on location to really see the colors of the trees, reflections, and so on. The island that houses the statue of President Teddy Roosevelt is not heavily trafficked, so it would have been possible. My only excuse is that the golden hour of the sunset lasts only for a little while.
