The Painting That Made Me Think I Was On To Something....

As I explained before, I had tried painting as a teenager once before and did not really like it  I just felt it was not my medium.  However, all that changed when I was invited to my first BYOB Painting class.  I soon began to sign up for many of these classes to paint.  The more I got into it, I was choosing paintings that spoke to me OR paintings that would challenge me.  This painting simply spoke to me...

I knew exactly where I wanted to hang it before I even painted it.  As soon as I was done with this one, I posted it to my Facebook page and immediately I got positive responses.  People even insisted on me selling this painting to them.  Many of my friends were even texting me! Hmmmm...maybe I was on to something.  I decided that maybe I could sell my paintings along with my drawings and other works of art.  

I now paint mostly on my own rather than going to the BYOB classes.  This painting did give me the idea of painting a series of female musicians.  I am currently working on the second piece in this series.  Already when people come over and see it on my easel quickly sketched out...they join in my enthusiasm! Pin It Now!
