This one has some hints of another painting that I got some ideas from. It's in no way a copy and I doubt anyone would recognize it. I gave this painting to my sister. But it still shows taking photos of paintings is a difficult process. But I enjoyed painting this one because it was calming and the colors in the sand came together easily. Some might say, "it's just sand", however, most artists know that the complexity of making visible textures like sand is often more difficult because you can't just spread down one color and call it sand. There is a blending of light sienna's, dark sienna's, and blues that are not as easy as one might think. If you smear all those colors together, you get grey. Keeping them seperate is key.
