"Japanese "Bloodgood" Maple" Painting

I AM BY NO MEANS PROFESSIONAL. I have no experience, took no classes neither have I went to school for art. I have been painting now for 5 years. I’ve always been interested in art (growing up with a family re-using and recycling everything to “MAKE” something else).  I mostly paint with acrylic paint (gifts from family and I paint on anything). At first, it was just picking up a paint brush and painting a scene for my mother. Nothing special and nothing extra-ordinary. But for me, to see what I have created was inspiring and to see that I could create something like that, made me believe that, with a little help from external sources, I could achieve so much more. I create what makes me happy, a thought or a feeling. So far I have tried drawings and painting with acrylic paint. I absolutely love painting because I can achieve much more detail, depth and colour blends.
