...and on my birthday...

I painted this. I also did other things. I am unsure if I think it is completed yet. I spent most of the day messing with it off and on. I had a sketch of what I wanted to do already. I probably sketched the idea a few times. I think the colors are good overall. There is a little blending of colors, meaning that there is not a lot of contract the further from the middle you go. I like it that way, but still not sure if I want to add something, adjust something or what. I did sign it. I am just thinking. Mom says she liked it and thinks it has a good focal point.

Not so good paintings

I say that because my perspective is not great because I have little experience in making it correctly. The bottom one was an attempt at doing a painting with a reference. It is beyond my skill level. I will get better, at least I hope I do. Anyway, the bottom painting became the below painting and it is still evolving.

Fun Paintings

Below are some fun paintings as I like to call them. I just take 140# watercolor paper and gesso it. I divide it into sections with 1" blue tape and end up making 4"x5" paintings. I do it for practice and to try things that I see done that I want to try. They're fun. The beer mugs were not originally going to be beer mugs. I had done some sketching of glasses filled with lemonade. I couldn't see it working in my mind, but I could see beer mugs quite clearly.

Flowers and a tree

I like the small painting of the flowers. I was trying something on it and I think it turned out nicely. The tree is ok and I am uncertain whether or not I love it.
