My artist journey

For several years I've planned to learn how to paint artwork.  Mostly nothing happened. The thought of doing "art" has been so intimidating that I only a couple of times have I had the courage to try, and I wasn't impressed.  Shouldn't my work be a bit impressive if I actually had talent? 

I've finally concluded that maybe I have to actually work and practice and practice some more before what shows up on the paper somewhat resembles what I wanted to do.  

Just recently, a library book called "Daily Painting: paint small and often to become a more creative, productive, and successful artist" by Carol Marine convinced me that practice and study might achieve a positive result, where lack of innate talent had failed.

Carol Marine also suggested a blog to record and review your progress; so here I am.

My artist journey follows.
