Painting

Lisa and I wanted a piece of art for our living room that would go above our couch. Prints can be nice and more affordable than original art work but just don’t have the same feel. Original art work can be expensive and hard to find, especially when you need a big piece. So I decided I would give it a try. I bought a big canvas, some paint, and three small canvas boards. Played around on the small canvases with some color and design. I didn’t really like any of those, Lisa liked one. Next I started on the large painting. So I went to work on it. I got some color combinations that I liked, but it didn’t quite come together on the painting. So then I put some more color on, and started over. This time the colors worked and I liked the basic design. It is not quite what I would have liked it to be but all in all I would have to say I am very pleased. So far your viewing I present to you my first painting (first one not done in a class).
