Finally Learning to Paint!

After decades of intending to put paintbrush to canvas I have finally started to paint on a regular basis and I'm loving it. I only wish I had started sooner. But at 45 (eeeeek!) I still (hopefully) have lots of years ahead of me to practice and improve. I'm learning something with every new piece.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words, encouragement and for faving these early attempts. I hope you will enjoy watching my progress!

There are so many things I want to paint now. There simply aren't enough hours in the day!
