2017

I have been lacking drive to get out and take photos lately, and this has got me thinking about what I should do.

And what I have decided is that I am going to pick up a brush again and start painting and see if I can still do it

Now the fun part about buying supplies, I do know it will be oil paints and canvas. Will probably start small but honestly I think bigger is better haha.
I have plenty of images to paint from in my Lightroom catalogue so no problem there.

But it will mean less photos taken and posted, but I hope it ignites my passion once again.

Photographer and artist you don't sing and dance too. Your photos will be missed.

I will still be posting everynow and then maybe will post a photo of my artwork haha, and nope cannot dance or sing.

What a guy. Willing to loan a camera. Deciding to get back into painting and place photography on the back burner. Next we will see you with hair like the late Bob Ross.

Hilarious! LOL

I'll take your other cameras.................

Good luck to you Scott, I know you will find your inspiration..........or it will find you. Don't be a stranger.

Good luck with that Scott. My Grandmother painted her whole life and I have a ton of her paintings... most all were landscapes and they are as great a memory as my granddads photos. But I do hope we will see some photos...

So there will be a 2018 calendar with 12 of your paintings, available next December? Would be a good follow-up to your 2017 calendar, since my wife also paints (oils and acrylic) on canvas, so you'd still be selling to the same household.

Not to hijack the thread, but I remember watching Bob Ross on PBS with my dad, when I was a kid. I remember "there are no mistakes, just happy accidents"
That guy was the mellowest dude I ever saw.
Here he is [MENTION=9753]Scott Murray[/MENTION] if you don't know who we are talking about.
