My first original oil painting




Hi everybody, today I would like to share my first original painting I have done.  My other paintings have always been studies of other painters work.  This one is done from a picture my son took in Victoria, BC.  I loved the quiet feel of the picture so chose it for my first.  This painting is done with oils, which I just love.  I am linking this up to Paint Party Friday.http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/
