My First Painting

2007-12-19T01:50:00.000-08:00

It was in April 2005. I was so excited that I finally could paint something. It was amazing and interesting knowing that I could do something that I never did before. Every time I saw a painting I always could not imagine how could someone do that and when could I do that? Now, I believe that I could do that as long as I would like to try it. So I encourage every body to also do whatever you want to do even though you never did it before.
