Learning to Paint

I started learning how to paint on canvas at the Lilly Lee Gallery in Sherwood, just around the corner from my place (how lucky is that!).

These are some fish in acrylics and ink with some gold leafing. It was such fun to create, particularly the very messy and free flowing background. The fish were a little harder to draw but overall I was happy with the final result.

Here is a black and white auto portrait, I got this class as a Christmas present from my friend Ala. It now hangs in our study room and I joke that it is there to watch over Ross when I am not home, he says he feels like "the big brother" is watching, LOL.
