end of year show - self portrait scenes from past holidays!

for the end of year show i was looking over some of my old photographs from holidays and past memories,i started to use up some A3 sized cuts of MDF wood to make paintings of places i visited. for two of these images i have secretly placed my shadow/silhouette within the paintings so it looks like i am still there from the original photographic images i have chosen.

1st idea - i believe i will do a combination of either a self portrait sized at A2 !  and then expand it with a even  larger cut of wood for the background and that will be made into a  holiday scenery.

2nd- a second idea i had was to draw up an urban scene of a Bristol building/landmark and include myself within the painting.

3rd Bristol landmark the Clifton suspension bridge i did lots of bridge photographic research during my foundation year 1 project! i could return to that!

4th idea- paint old photographs of memories

5th idea - photorealism self portrait idea with objects from holiday/sunglasses sun-cream,light etc

a collection of a3 sized cuts of mdf wood acrylic paintings that i would like to keep creating a series of for my own hobby work hang them in house /studio/other. use them for landscape research ideas i really am starting to like painting landscapes now they are much easier that painting portraits i just cant seem to fully grasp the concept of painting self portraits ATM maybe when i get a response from the portrait painting of the year 2016 show then ill really have to step up my game i just hope my sent portrait images were of good use but i highly doubt it :(
