I'm afraid to write anything here because I've been dismal on my follow through.  I am painting again, but don't know how far I will get. I finished/reworked one of the paintings I recently posted and I'm much more satisfied with it.  I think I got sidetracked from my original plan which was to do abstract landscapes.  I kind of got hung up in doing those ocean paintings and people seem to like them.  I think, basically, people want something beautiful on their walls.  I know I do.  However, painting them is tedious and not very creative.  All my life I have been able to copy anything you put down in front of me, but that's not what I want to do.  I could paint the same realilstic seascapes over and over working on different wave patterns and colors, but it's boring and artists everywhere are painting that stuff.  I want to create something that amazes me.  Haha, pretty hard to come by.
