Anniversary Picture

November marks my one year anniversary of painting.  I want to thank Bernie Rosage for giving me an oil paint set and "bugging" me to go with him.  I never wanted to do this to begin with. Since that day in November 2007 I caught the bug. The first picture I painted was in Swansboro, NC at a small waterside park. It is displayed on the right side of my blog marked "1st painting". Well I thought I would try to do something interesting. I went back to the same place today and painted the same scene as I see it now. I am hoping to do this every year it is available. I have to admit, it is STILL hard to paint! I cannot seem to get the perspective right. Maybe next year I will do better.  As always.... feel free to comment.  Dean
