Beginings

I'm starting this blog to share my journey with painting. Hopefully others will be encouraged as I take my stumbling steps. A little about me. I've been painting and crafting in acrylic and watercolors for a number of years. I have taken some classes but much of my learning has been self taught. An advantage at times but also a disadvantage. I'm leaning towards more expessive forms and not quite so realistic. I love flowers and gardening and paint florals much of the time. At times when I'm feeling discombobulated and disconnected I'll paint complete abstracts- usually bright colors and metallics on a black background. Art is becoming more of a way to express feeling than painting a pretty picture. Although that can be fun too.
