I have not been on my blog in a long time but concentrating on watching many instructional videos to take up painting again. A wonderful site that allows you to use photos as inspiration to use in your art without infringing on the photographers rights has been a go to for me. Paint My Picture contributor John Johnsons Photo that is above is the one I was using along with Ginger Cooks live video instructions laid the basis for this painting. It was heading for the trash can before I took a pallet knife and more paint to it. Still could use some work and I know that there are many mistakes but it is a step in the right direction. I guess I just want to say never give up on a painting. In a few days I will look at this again and maybe twerk a few spots but it seems to be working for me!!!
