A Christmas Gift for Dad

First ever painting!

I'm very excited about this because I've taken my creativity into a new medium. I've never painted before in my life. Aside from the stuff you do in grade school school art class, I've never touched a brush to canvas. However I've always wanted to. It was something that always roamed in the back of my mind but was scared to try.

Something snapped this weekend that caused me to go out and buy paint, brushes, and a canvas. And after a couple days of playing and experimenting, this is the result.

I know it's not very good. It doesn't emotionally connect to me aside from the fact that I wanted a lot of blue. I have no idea why it's just a moon and what started out as stars but look more like snow. As a beginner to the world of painting, I decided to do something very simple.

I might not like the final result but I'm proud of myself for doing it.
