my first painting

This picture was the inspiration for my first painting.

Thanks to my friend Neil for taking me to a gallery and teaching me the basics of painting.

I also found some great painting tips on http://www.about.painting.com/. If you ever want to learn to paint, it's a good place to start.

The picture is of my hand after I broke it, and my pointer finger. The accident happened in Ouray when some asspipe was climbing off route above me and knocked a cinder block sized chunk of ice down on me without even yelling.

So this is the painting. It's called "I broke my hand and now it hurts".



It's not great, but it's my first painting...
