New - Intro

[VanPaint]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this site, a hobbyist, and fairly new to 'flat art' painting. I have done wood carvings for a number of years and painted in both acrylics and oils - primarily fish, birds, and ducks. I am also into outdoor photography and still learning. In general, I love nature and creating, so I must learn how to do paintings. Oils will be my medium of choice. Looking forward to all I can learn here and hopefully be able to share something of value with others also.

Thanks. I thought I would include a sample of what I have done with carvings:

Beautiful work! You may want to share them in the Sculpture and Animal and Wildlife Forums.
