Oil Painting entitled "Camping"

This oil painting is 60cm x 90cm in size. I painted it last week. I was trying to capture the splendour of the Australian countryside with the light glowing over the mountains. It was a scene I created from my head. Before I started I had pictured the mountains and a waterfall flowing from the hills into a stunning lake. As the picture developed I was pleased with how serene and tranquil it was, and decided it would be a lovely place for camping, hence I added in the tent. I added an Australian gum tree in the middle ground, but not too close to the tent (only because of the old saying 'never pitch your tent under a gum tree in case a branch falls'). I painted the sky in white and then added in some yellow ochre and a blue-violet that I mixed using Ultramarine blue and red.
