The Sunshine State

My dad and Uncle Jim rented a house in Florida for a month and somehow I wound up here too. We took a commission piece from an old friend of his. Here is a picture of me slowly cutting in the shoreline. I'm really excited to see how this turns out, as its the biggest painting my dad has ever done and the first piece of art I've gotten to make with him.

My story

I came across my love for painting by complete accident. Coming home from a week in the mountains, my roommate had painted our dining room table a color white that was too boring to look at every day. Just having fun, I painted a paint-by-numbers painting on the table to cover the white. Here is a picture of the table today: 

I ran out of brown paint at the end, otherwise I would have re-painted the tree trunk.
