While I was learning how to paint as a boy I started becoming more and more aware of composition in paintings. I noticed each painting that I learned from had a certain "flow" that led to one area of the painting. I asked my teacher if I could try my own original painting next time. She said yes, and it was great putting my own work together as she kept an eye on me. My first few weren't the best, but I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. Today I still combine two or three photos to put a nice painting together, but grew over the years to do work from no reference material at all.  I love to look at a white canvas and just let loose and "go for it". It seems like magic some times the way things come together. I love making the adjustments along the way to bring the image right to where I feel it needs to be. At the end of the day you know you truly created a one of a kind piece that came from the heart. Let me know how you feel and leave your post. What type of artwork to you enjoy the most as an artist to create? What kind of work do you like the most by other artists? Thats all for now, I'm stilling tring to get some photos up here for you so thank you for your patience and as always have a great weekend!
