Let's get it rolling. I'm going to take some extra time with this one and paint it as if I want to sell it.

Oh Good! Me Too. I plan to post my progress in this thread, will you be doing that also?

Sure! I don't even have an image to paint yet. I'm thinking of piecing together a sailboat heading towards the sunset with a view from the helm. That could change.

I have a photo from the internet but it is sort of 'Oh Hum'. I'm going to look for something more fun to do before I start.

I found the picture I want to attempt. It will be a real challenge for me....but isn't that the most fun ones! I need to do some errands and minor chores and then I'm going to start on it. I'm planning to put it on an 18x24 canvas. It will be fun doing the bright colors in this picture.

So far, so good.

can we submit more than 1 painting?

I don't see why not.

Nice start.

This is what I got done today. I find the sketching part the hardest part. I think I have the potential of totally embarrassing myself with this one, but if one does not try stretching it's hard to grow.

I have a soft ball game to go to tonight so I'm done for today.
