Pics of 1st ever attempt at oil painting

[PawNature]

I know there are people on the forum that can put me to shame when it come to painting as I know ablsoulty nothing.
But I thought I would post these anyway.
This was my first attempt.
Any other rainey day artist on here.

[Coon]

You got me beat. :D  Nice job.

[Carries-Mom]

those look pretty good to me... ;D ;D

[Patty]

Very nice!  8)     As someone who can barely hold a paint brush, much less paint a picture, I really envy your talent.

[Tom]

Good job, PaNature
One of the hardest things I found about water was trying to keep it in the picture.   Mine usually looks like it is falling out of the canvas.

[SwampDonkey]

Good job Pawnature. I don't have a steady enough hand or the elegance to paint a picture of any detail. Oh, I've dibbled a bit here and there, never on canvas. I used to draw a lot with pencil, I think most of it is gone in the trash by now during my mother's cleaning frenzies. :D

[Jeff]

Looks like your using oils eh?  You found a great hobby! (Other then the prep and clean up. YUK!)

In another life before the Forestry Forum. Actually, painting is a big part of why the Forestry Forum exists.

Pawnature, just by looking I believe I can outdraw you with my STICKMEN. :D :D Very pretty pictures!!!

[dundee]

For a first attempt, that is sooooooooooooo good, well done mate

[bull]

You's an artist...

[blaze83]

awesome, I think I fished that lake in the Cabinet Mountain wilderness in western montana. deffinatly some talent there, look forward to seeing what's next

[Dave Shepard]

Wow! That is outstanding Pawnature! Do you paint from memory or from photos? Now you need to find an old sawmill in a ramshackle building to paint. I can't paint a fence never mind a picture of something that actually looks like, well, anything. :D

I wish I could do half that good. I always wanted to be able to draw and paint. Great picture !

[Corley5]

Looks pretty DanGed good to me  8) 8)

[PawNature]

Gee, thanks for all the kind comments. Actually I loved to watch Bob Ross on pbs. So my wife got me one of his kits for Christmas. All I did was watch the video and then painted the picture.

[Fla._Deadheader]

My first Bride started that way. She watched the old German guy, and Bob Ross. Your work is very good for a first time.  8)

[SwampDonkey]

Yeah just never know until ya try something. 

[pigman]

Great job. 8)  But you know me, I just have to make a comment. Since there are two pictures, one has to be the second attempt at painting. They both are so good I am not sure which one is the first attempt and which one is the second attempt. ;D

Keep them "happy little tree's" coming..

[zopi]

I'd say that's a little more than an attempt...they are excellent!

maybe just a touch more blue in the mountains...but I wouldn't sweat it..I cannot keep a piece I work on because
I keep going back and wanting to change things...

I envy your talent with a brush..I can airbrush fairly well..but doing anything with a brush is beyond me..

[thecfarm]

That looks some nice.That would look good hanging on a wall.

I did a few paintings with oil and never could get acustomed to the smell . I have since gone with acrylics , dont know nothing about painting other then putting colours in the right place to make something resemble something . I have no formal training , my daughter though , second year university in fine arts , now she can paint /draw/sculpt/  beter'n me any time  :D
She did tell me once to work from the back to the front , wich made sense after cogitating about it for a while .  :P :D

  For a first attempt at painting , you have done a very good job .

[Bro. Noble]

Well I used to do a little painting,  but havn't for years and probably won't again------ With my poor eyesight, I would have trouble telling one number from the others :
