I LOVE making happy clouds!
What I really found, is that I loved painting his landscapes, but that I was never going to want any of them in my house... and after I'd finish one, or get frustrated by it, I'd just scrape the canvas and do a different one. You can do that with oils, since it takes so long to dry.
What I really wanted to do was to draw horses... and dogs, and I found painting them with brushes way too imprecise. I got pretty good at drawing horses in pencil, but really I can't match the art of the real thing, and enjoy now just photographing them.
You do a very fine job of photography!
But there's still something about paintings and drawings...
If I'm ever wealthy, or even just well off...I'd like to have lots of paintings! Not necessarily by big names - just interesting art. We've played for a local art fair several years in a row, and one of the best parts of it is just looking at all the paintings and sculptures and photos and all. Most aren't THAT expensive as art goes - under a couple of hundred, say, and some for hardly anything at all, at least for the smaller works.
