Art!!

I love making my jewelry and I will keep doing so, but now I'm also going to try my hand at painting with watercolors. So for the past few days I've been playing around with painting landscapes. I'm going to attach two paintings to this post that I've finished already. Last night I stayed up till after 1:00 am painting a portrait of my youngest son Justin, from looking at a photograph of him. I try to stay patient with myself but I could tell right away that I'm a little rusty at this watercolor painting thing. I did have some frutstrations trying to make shadows and light areas and stuff. Trying to get his eye's in the right place, his smile just right and such. You know I've never been really good at this, though I've never really tried but....I'm already trying portraits of people???? What am I crazy??? Yes just a little. Oh well ya gotta start some where right? I'll keep working on his portrait and hope it gets better every day.  I did take some pictures of my landscape and I'll attach them to this blog so you can see where I'm at with watercolors. Now just remember when you look at them......I am noooooo professional nor do I claim to be. I'm just getting started. I'd love to hear what everyone thinks though (just please be kind:) ~Sharon
