Mixed media canvas - At the beach

Here I am again with my latest mixed media canvas: At the beach.

I had long wished to make a canvas about beach with beach huts. And now here it is one! 

This picture was inspired by my other picture of street with houses and cars. 

With this canvas I would like to participate in a challenge at the Country View Crafts Blog: Simply Scenic.

Most of the elements were cut out with dies, except the umbrella, the rays of the sun and the roofs of the huts.

I was lucky because I had "Sand" paint at home which contains fine grains so my sandy beach looks quite realistic.
