At the college I went to, we painted pictures instead of writing papers. Afterward I discovered about needing to make money. So, I went to law school and art-making got demoted to hobby. It never felt good, but about some things you have no choice.
Last month, a good friend mentioned wanting a painting for his kitchen - a half-empty cup of something (not half-full - I'm a lawyer). Because he is a very good friend, I decided to dust off the paints and make the picture for him. So far, I am enjoying doing it, and it is kind of freeing to paint something to someone else's specifications.
So, it gave me an idea - I could keep my painting chops in order by getting my friends to give me assignments! And, being no stranger to blogging, I could give myself further incentive to do the work by documenting the experiment here.
So, here we go.
