Progress

In The Beginning

I wanted to paint.

I wanted to paint a lot.

Only one problem.

I didn't know how to paint.

 But I never let a little thing like not knowing how to do something stop me from doing something.

I taught myself how to sew.

I taught my self how to crochet.

I taught myself how to cook.

I taught myself calligraphy.

I didn't know a lick about photography. 

I didn't know how to be a reporter.

I taught myself how to make soap.

In fact, I've taught myself all sorts of things, from books.

But painting?

Well I really wanted it so I jumped in.

This painting is one of my first painting I ever painted.

Before a lesson, a you tube video was watched, before almost everything.

I can't believe I'm showing you this.

Looks like a tornado forming.

I show you this because I got the painting back from my daughter with the intention of re-painting it.

And today I did re-paint it.

No tornado!

In fact, this may be one of my favorite skies.

I love all the color in it.  

The grasses look much better and the water in the background looks much better.

OK, so I guess it was worth showing you the bitter to get to the better.

Check back in a year or two, I'll probably paint it again.
