Journey into the Past - Beach Scene

This is one of my very first attempts at seascapes.  At the time I was very happy and felt I had accomplished a good painting.  Now in retrospect, it was just one of the first steps into the world of art.  I had more successes than failures down the road but the important thing is to not let your last mistake be your last attempt or you have failed. I used a very limited pallete.  As I remember it - it was Prussian Blue, Cadmium Yellow Pale, Grumbacher Flesh, Brunt Umber and White - primary palette type. I also used the palette knife to get the hard rock effect.  More practice, practice, practice!
