Painting. . .somewhat!

Honestly, I know nothing about painting on a canvas. But, I am willing to learn. I lead a Stop & Go kind of life, so the learning is a bit slow--I'm living the life I imagine! Rewarding to see paint ink on a canvas, stir new colors. Artist Lynn Whipple's big idea on painting is that you will most naturally paint 100 bad paintings so get started!

I've got this Coral Garden started (I copy one of my favorite artist because I know very little about painting. Shhh, artist secret). The first coral trees I painted are the reds off to the sides & top, I was just gun-ho coral happy. Later my favorite critic chirped that coral doesn't grow off air (top), oops. . . technical problems already!
