I love the history of old buildings and cities. This door is from my travels to Estonia with my dad and grandparents. This was my first time painting on paper. I am converted.
This painting came out pretty quickly, which normally does not happen for me.

I had extra boards hanging around and finding myself bored one evening, I just started throwing paint around. This is what I came up with.

I wanted to see what would happen if I went into a painting having no plans of subject, composition, color, etc. It turned out to be a mess really. I like doing small paintings like this however, because you are allowed to make mistakes and do different things.
