Don't Quit Your Day-Job

I read somewhere that painting can allow you to "gain self-esteem and confidence you never knew you possessed". But that's not why I added it as one of my 101 goals. My goal was to paint a picture and frame it; I made this goal for multiple reasons...
  1. To try something new.
  2. Start a new hobby.
  3. I wanted to make something that I could be proud of.
  4. Develop a "talent" from scratch.
  5. Find another form of therapy/relaxation.
So Maxene and I had a "Paint Party" and it was extremely fun! My self-esteem and confidence didn't increase, but Maxene and I had some good laughs. Here are a few that I painted...

Ha ha! Yeah right! Totally kidding! These are paintings that my brother-in-law, David, did (he's my hero and inspiration). My best work is below...

The rule: If you don't have something nice to say... don't say anything at all :) should be applied here!
