I've been really enjoying adult painting by numbers. I've got loads of the paint left over so thought I'd have a go at doing a painting of my own. I say 'of my own' but I've actually copied it from an actual artists piece of work. Anyway, I'm rather chuffed with it. I've got no one to show in real life. DH not particularly interested and I'd feel bit of a knob sending a picture of it to anyone so I hope you don't mind me posting it here. This is the first painting I've ever done. Slightly embarrassed to admit that I've framed it! I've just put it in the en suit loo.

It's great.

Don't be embarrassed that you've framed it! Wonderful hobby to have and good to celebrate yourself. Keep at it and you'll only get better.

I am slightly disappointed it's not hilariously shit OP. Grin

It's an absolute beauty. I would honestly buy it and I am very picky. Well done. Surely your DH will be in awe!?

Lowlight282 · 24/05/2021 20:24

Thank you for all your kind comments.

I'm definitely going to carry on, i find it really relaxing. I can't imagine ever being able to paint without copying something but that doesn't really matter does it, as long as your enjoying yourself!

It's brilliant. I was always terrible at art in school but decided earlier this year to do one of those Facebook live painting groups was lots of fun to be honest. Nothing as good as yours but was still good fun. You were totally right to frame it so you back enjoy it for years to come.

museumsandgalleries666 · 24/05/2021 20:26

You should be proud of yourself, it's terrific! Are you doing another painting?

SappysCurry · 24/05/2021 20:27

really lovely and serene, 🥰

thecatwithnoeyes · 24/05/2021 20:28

Oh wow, it's stunning

SappysCurry · 24/05/2021 20:28

Bit sad that your DH isn’t interested, it’s so lovely

user1471471475 · 24/05/2021 20:31

That's beautiful! Well done!

Wishingwell75 · 24/05/2021 20:32

I too thought it might be really (hilariously) awful but it's great. I think the sky is particularly gorgeous!
Now you've achieved this are you going to keep going?
Be good to see a complete original next time - you're way better than paint by numbers and recreating an existing painting.
I bet they'll be no stopping you!

sallievp · 24/05/2021 20:33

Wow! you are very talented! Beautiful painting.

Minstermouse · 24/05/2021 20:33

That’s just beautiful.
