Welcome to my painting blog.  This is my journey painting pictures. Over the years I have taken classes for wood carving and basket weaving and became good at both. 
Learning to paint has been a whole new experience  I have been dabbling in oils and water colors for the past year and recently started a class in acrylics. 
I have found that talent is also part of becoming a good artist.
Below are a few of my first paintings from a Bob Ross dvd I tried to paint a barn

at the time I was very proud of this picture.

Overtime I have changed the type of paints, what I paint on, and learned that the old saying practice makes perfect is very true.

This is a modified Bob Ross painting.  I am doing things my way
