Many years ago – I was about nine or ten years old – my Mom and I took watercolor classes. I loved doing it, but when we moved away I stopped painting.
Around my last birthday I felt like I should pick it up again. Like I said, I haven’t done it in years and it was a risk to buy all that super expensive stuff, just because I had a feeling 
However, it was a good move. It took me some time to get back into it and so far I haven’t done anything too crazy – usually simple landscapes with distant mountains, forests and water fronts.
Last night thought I felt like stepping up the game. I found a beautiful photograph of bisons in the winter wonderland Yellowstone and started painting. After a few minutes I almost threw it away. I had NO idea whatsoever how to paint a snowy wall of trees…
From experience I know, that the best paintings are the once I hate in the beginning states, so I painted on and on and on – this is the result.
I love it.
The moral of this off-scrapbooking-themed story: Good can come from bad – or – don’t give up

Very beautiful!!! Watercolour is one of my favourite types of painting- one I’m just not very talented in though unfortunately!
