ranking project - painting

well!!!  Went for painting and struggling a bit like most others in the class. Contradictions at every step.....chose anything you want....as long as its 5 mins or less from college. Dont use photographs ...though clear use in previous years sketchbook examples. Have fun and relax.....when we are in direct competition with each other, Chose any artist/technique that you like....as long as its on our list of luvvies.
who'd have thought that art college was more judgemental than civilian life? Surprise to me.
Anyway, as I said, trying to steer a path thru troubled waters......
2 images of note so far.....

Grumpy looking eh!!

Avenue of trees leading to small altar ....

Realised in white paint on black card....scratched away to form highlighted black tree at the right of the altar.

Fore ground and trees depicted using a heady mix of crimson, raw umber and blue....with a little white for the grass at the front. Marks made by soaking small wooden canvas stretcher corners which gives the ill-defined broken up structure of the tree trunks and branches.More paint applied to trees at the fron to add to perspective,
