My friend talked me into painting again. I haven't painted in years. He bought me an easel, tubes of paint, brushes and all kinds of paper for Valentine's Day so I had no excuse not to start again. Here is my first attempt.

Wow you are really staying busy Susie. Wish I could draw or paint. My brother is pretty good and I have a Uncle that is a artist.

SouthernOhio, yes they're mostly from pictures. My friend takes the pictures, or records the birds with a video camera and we take out a frame and I paint from that.

I just went to the bird watching forum. I found a couple of photos there I may have to take inspiration from and paint!

Gary, I started lurking in this forum a while back, but hadn't painted in years. I saw the lion you were painting. It is beautiful!
