I had been looking at oceans for a while and decided to try.  I started with a mix of cobalt blue and lot of white and covered the whole canvas. Then drew the rocks and the wave with chalk. Then painted the clouds, then the ocean far away with bits of ultramarine and hooker green, then the wave with light green and forewave with black, then the rocks. Did the white lines on forewave.

This took from september to december 2004 to finish.

Acrylic paint on canvas board.

Dimension 16 x 16 inches.

I started by painting the sky with yellow at center, then ornage and red around it. The rest of the canvas was covered with patch brushing black. For the trees mix brown with some green and red. I used the tree color to patch brush the rest of the canvas. Put yellowish white in the centre of the sky. Painting completed in December 2004.
