Challenge: Tropical Colors

I asked my sister what she would like for her birthday and she requested a painting.  She wants colors that she's particularly fond of that are all rather tropical. Blues and greens and blue-greens like aqua and turquoise are what she likes best. These are colors that I hardly ever work with. I live inland, in the mountains, in the northeast. I like browns and rusts.
When I said as much to my sister, she said that it would be a good challenge for me to paint in these colors. OK. Well, she didn't like the first attempt. I admitted that it was the first thing I thought of when she described her colors. (See picture #1 of the beach). Well, back to the drawing board. More of the story will be revealed as it happens.

I actually like it very much, but I think I would like to see you try something a bit more challenging and outside the box.
