Continuing with painting!

Today I started to carry on with the painting that I started last week. I found mixing the paint to make the certain colours difficult but once I spend an hour or so testing colours it started to bring itself together.

Here I added the tree at the top of the canvas, it is dark because the sun is shining from behind it.

After painting the tree, I started to add the see which blended nicely into the blue sky and used different colours of yellow and browns to create the colour of the sand.

As i am looking at artists like Barbara Kruger, I wanted to insert my passage in 'Secret of happiness is to admire without desiring'. I thought it would go nice blended in with the sand.

This is a close-up of how I have painted the sea as if it is crashing against the rocks. This still need s alot more detail!

I am thinking of using this as part of my Exhibiting and Curating project as well as my personal practice as it would be interesting to experiment using the idea we have for our group project.
