Starting out

My initial attempts at drawing and painting were slow and stuttering, often things out of proportion, or colours fairly bland, because I am only learning about layering and finishing (I am still learning so don't shoot me down).

So somethings looked passable, some fairly funny and some painful, but in each I learnt something, even if it was just 'to start again'

So here are my faltering steps....

But I tried and tried and tried and they started getting better...well, I think they are, but then, I once thought I could sing, until I heard the out-of-tune cacophony on the recording...

So the one above improved to this

which I thought was a bit nicer, and now is owned by a friend.

Seasons

This is a follow on from my first post .....

I was working on some canvases trying to create a common theme, and not getting very far very quickly, so I started playing with blues and greens, eventually producing this painting that is meant to represent Summer

That led to my thinking I should then add the rest of the seasons, so that's what I did

Spring, 

Then Winter

and Autumn

They're of differing quality, to be honest, and its only the summer one that I really felt.   But in all, I enjoyed the colours, the painting style and the texture of the paint once it had dried.
