[cleofus1]

the scan is a little dark...but it took me a long time to get it done so that is it for now...
the first real smatterings of paint...reds, yellows, blues and yes some burnt umber...

5. It's looking good.

You have a pretty distinctive style, I've noticed. I can see it in your MS Paint drawings as well.

9. it's been so many years since i did a painting

i probably just naturally fell into doing something familiar...

11. Cool.

I need to pick up some good brushes. I've got a new easel and a few canvases that are feeling mighty ignored, haha.

12. well it is good work

i hope to keep doing one canvas after another...so maybe by the time i hit the fifth canvas or so i will be doing great work...but i do appreciate the sentiment!

13. i started with zero painting supplies

i wound up spending nearly 100 dollars on brushes paints gesso and canvas...except for a canvas i probably have enough now to do a couple of paintings...

My avatar is the Chinese character for happiness (sachi). It took me awhile to find an avatar that really spoke to me...my wish is that everyone be able to find happiness, whatever that means to them. :hi:
