Canvas Art

So........About 5 years ago, I wanted to learn how to paint.  I started off sketching a few things here and there and then decided that I wanted to paint on canvas.  I went to the many DIY sites to try to learn techniques.  I am no Bob Ross, that's for sure, but I would love to learn his techniques and have his talent!!!!  Maybe one day, right?  I never give up!  I will keep learning and painting what I think is beautiful.  

That is the wonderful thing about painting, you don't have to be perfect at it, you just paint what inspires you.  I have to say, I am still in the basics mode but if you like art, that isn't perfect, you will enjoy looking at some of my work.   

I even had two of my nieces painting with me.  We had a blast!  One of them is still sketching to this day.  I like to say that I inspired her to be artistic!  

Below, I have listed some inspirational websites.  Places on the web that had me thinking, "I can do that!".  


In the Beginning

Here are some of my first paintings!

I Just Love Trees...........

This was probably my first attempt at painting a tree.  I used a 12x16 piece of 1/4" plywood.
