For years I've dabbled in painting.  I usually used Acrylic and water colors.  By nature I'm pretty creative; however, I never seemed to finish those paintings I started.  Of course, this was something I promised myself, "When the time is right"...News Flash! Time is an illusion.  One night I came across this wonderful woman name Cinnamon Cooney, and her hubby John.  I watched, again and again, finally I dug out all my art supplies.  Huh! I had almost all the same colors Cinnamon uses...Brushes galore...No time like the present, I tried a few easy paintings, then challenged myself to Acrylic April....what the heck, What I though was tough was easy, and vice versa.  LOL   Best of all I finished each painting, and really enjoyed doing the exact painting on a 3 x 3.  I’m pretty proud of my results.  My next adventure is to continue Art Sherpa and maybe change up a few details to make the finish product mine. haahaa
I wonder if many followers experience similar stories and what pushed them into the different mindset.  When did my eyes start to see and my brain ask "how would I paint that"...Does it start after so many paintings you completed or is everyone different, regardless it’s a beautiful happy experience for me.
the Happy Painter
