I started this blog to document my attempt at learning the art of painting.  I have always thought i would like to create something that brought a new adventure to my life (as others in the past have done such as my last learning experience of Argentine Tango)  I started the process in October and have attempted to learn the different phases of creation.   Color, types of brushes, strokes, subject matter etc.  have all been a challenge and frustration does set in.   Anyway, at the suggestion of family i have started to post some results.
Some examples of using knife and brush for different looks:

Additional attempts of different styles of painting.   Using acrylics (recommended for beginners.)

Some early on attempts to get started:

The first picture was done in January, the others in October.

Adding a few more examples of the learning process.   I tried to use a pallet knife, with various strokes of color in some along the way,   Enjoyed looking at great painters work on line and tried to develop some consistency in various styles.
