Art...it certainly is in the eye of the beholder.  Watching tv programs like "Love it or List it" and "Property Brothers" I amazed at the art that is hung.  Having a personality that is more black and white/realistic the paintings that are more abstract seem to be beyond my understanding.

The more "doodling" I do in connection with therapy the more I understand the works of Salvador Dali.

In attempts to develop my technique, here is some of my works:

Loved the way that the fencing came out on this one.  A youtube.com how to video.


This one is also a youtube.com how to video.

I had my camera on a black and white setting with 1 color highlighted before noticing and the picture below is what turned out.  Really like it, hmmm.

 Deserts are a lot of details, painted it in black and white with a little burnt umber and it was a bit of a challenge.    The stump in the above turned out really well, IMO.


 Also black and white paintings, I am pretty happy with it.
