Sid


I like to do a little painting. It started out with drawings on small pieces of paper. Then I wanted to see how I could do with oils. What a big difference.

Then I figured out to how to use paint thinner on the paint to thin it out on the canvas.

I don't expect to see my name up there with Dali or Pissaco anytime soon. This is just for me to mess around with.

It's really the only thing I know how to paint and I would hate to think I keep on painting myself.
