Going it Alone


This was my first attempt at painting without any instruction. I used the techniques I've learned so far from Bob Ross and just made up the composition. I mixed the colors to create a gray-blue, more like the colors we see so often here in the Northwest. It's a little 8x10 canvas (the first two were 16x20) and it was fun to make. It went much more quickly than the larger ones, and it was easier to focus without turning back to the television to see Bob Ross, although I did miss his soothing encouragement to create my own happy little world. Still, I suppose I could hear him in my mind (crazy painter?).

This was painted on March 4th.
