Single Oak in Milano -- Watercolour on Canvas

Sorry if I've been all doom and gloom lately; my grandma has been on my mind a lot as you can see. It felt almost wrong to post about anything happy or trivial in my life due to my Avo. I'll update about her as soon as I have information from the specialists.

I've decided that I needed to try to do something that doesn't involve work, school, dogs, or my husband. Trust me, I love them all (oddly enough); but I have to try to make some "me" time or else I'll just go nuts.

So, I've decided to learn how to paint.

I've wanted to learn forever. I've never been able to afford those classes they offer out there, but always dreamed about doing them. So, I bought some watercolours and waterboards and off I went.

There's a lot to learn about painting; a lot more than I thought! I went to a couple of websites to obtain basic information on painting techniques, brush strokes, etc. The painting on the left is what I came up with. I think it's pretty good for my first try.

There's a couple of gloopy parts here and there, I was a little heavy with the blue on some parts; but at the end of the day it's a great first attempt. Heck, at least it's recognisable. Now, I just need one of those froo-froo names for it like "Single Oak in Milano; watercolour on canvas".

I need suggestions. Have one?
