Old Paintings

Do you ever look back at some of your old stuff and hide your face? Stuff that you did when you were first learning to paint and you thought it was good. Paintings that should either be cut up and reused, collaged over or burned. Well, in an effort to open up to you, my closest friend in the world, I am going to show you one of my first paintings. You can laugh, just don't tell me you laughed, but promise you'll give me your opinion.

Ok, here goes...






Pretty bad, huh? I mean you can tell it's grapes, at least it has that going for it, but it's so ooooky. I painted it in a class with a photorealistic watercolorist for a teacher. It was one of those classes where everyone goes home with a finished painting in 4 hours. This thing has been in my drawer for about 7 years. It needs to go. It's so static and lifeless.

But, I should shut up. Maybe you like it. Maybe you will be offended if you like it and I think it's total crap. So, I'll zip my mouth.

If you are a person who loves it, or who hates it but wants to own it, here's a special treat...

Okay, I'll be waiting patiently by the computer for your response. Thanks.
