A Painting I Remember

i was in my great uncles den/basement one night during a family dinner at his house. he lives ion an oldish house but it wasn't a nasty or creepy basement. he had this old kinda dusty painting of a random old man. the reason i remember this painting is because of the feeling and the expression in the mans face, all the colors that the artist used and the way that it was painted really had an effect on me. it really shows how color and tone of a painting can totally change its mood

My Skills As An Artist

i do a lot of painting and drawing at home, i love art. at beaver ive taken photo, sculpture and art principles. my strengths as an artist would be that when i do it i get really into what im doing and that lets me get a little carried away in it which ends up making the art that im doing more personal and special to me. my struggles as an artist are that sometimes i get really prefectionisty and i just do too much in a painting or a picture and that sometimes leaves it a little more precise than id like it to come out
