paintings

I think I may add paintings to this blog. I hate to just start another win I have this sitting right here.

I have made mom some stretcher canvases and she decided that I should pick up painting also, well at least give it a try. She purchased some acrylic paints for me, gave me a pallet knife, a couple of brushes, pallet paper and it seems something else besides a quick lesson. I have had a fun time with it. I am not a great artist. I prefer wood working. However, it is a great extension of creativity and it allows me to learn something else. I am not good with perspective yet. Hopefully I will get better.

These first pics were on paper that I coated with gesso.



Yes, not much to look at. I had watched many videos on how to paint. These are my first attempts.

I hope that since I can incorporate many things with this title that I will have a more inclusive blog on many of the things that I do. I do not do much in reality but I do some things and want to do more. Now maybe I will be properly motivated to put anything on this blog. I have many pics of food that I have cooked. I have pics of food Mom made for me. I hope to add all. I probably won't though. Just wishful thinking on my part. I do hope to add many from the past and most if not all from the future that  I deem worthy. I have items I want to build and want to put them here also. I will also get on my soap box occassionaly, just because  I can. I probably won't do too much though. Happy viewing.

...an abstract

This is more of what I consider a pure abstract. I tried it and liked it over all.

Camelia

I have been trying flowers and I found a pic I had of a camelia flower. I have tried painting it twice. Once on a very small canvas and a 12x12 canvas. Juliann likes the 12x12 and wants it. So, she will get it. The top pic is of the smaller canvas and bottom pic is of the 12x12 canvas. I did not make that one. I made the small canvas.
