Only the water remains!
Finally--I finished needle-blending the sky for Port Dalhousie! I used three successive shades of DMC cotton floss--#3841, 3325, and 3755--and, since I was working from the horizon with the canvas turned upside-down, ended at the top with four full plies of #3755.
I then completed the lantern room with DMC floss #3848, with #3847 for the shadowing. The beacon itself was worked in tent stitches using Kreinik #12 tapestry braid #002.
All that remains now is to select floss from the same blue family of DMC floss and stitch the water!

This one is lovely, Anne. I love how you blended the teal greens and blues so well.
