Some time ago I thought that I would like to learn how to paint...really paint. Not just crayola watercolors with my son. Knowing this about me, my sweet mother-in-law gave me a nice easel as a gift. Unfortunately, it didn't possess magical powers, and I still couldn't paint. So the easel sat forlornly by my bed for a year while I pondered how to learn how to do it (short of actually paying someone to tell me, I mean.)So while perusing my choices on the television one day, I found a painting show that made it actually seem possible for someone with my level of skill (zippo) to paint something that resembles something you'd see on a scenic drive...instead of the thing that you just hit on that scenic drive.
So in short, I watched several episodes, got some paint and canvas, and now I've got my courage up so I'm going to try it. I guess you just got to start somewhere right?

Go Tracie! I can't wait to see your first masterpiece :)
Remember when we used to watch "Bob Ross"? He was always showing us how to paint happy little clouds over here, or a little bare branch tree over there. He was such a cool hippy painter! Good luck with your first creation!
Awesome! Now you have to show one of your finished products:)
Ambitious! I'm excited to see what you come up with.
I want to see the masterpiece, too!
I thought about Bob Ross, too. I really enjoyed watching his shows and his paintings were really cool!
