      I'm currently working this painting out and am not sure if the light from the house should be reflected in the water or not? What do you think? thanks for any help 🙂

        @jason-bowen I think it would if it were closer to the water, but it's on a hill and there is a dock so I'd say probably not if it's a regular strength house light.

          @Jason-Bowen Based on the angle I say no. Look at the reflection of the lamp. Think of it as an arc connecting to the lamp. If you drew the same kind of arc for the house it would go off the page. However the other light and the reflected light on the boat would be visible.
