This started as a project in mix media (acrylic, pastel, pencils) that went wrong then I basically painted over in oil.

The bottom is the inspiration that hangs on our entry wall.

Next up first attempt.

And the top painting, after messing that up, I have ended here.

I know I am my worst critic but for all I am lacking I am just glad for the time I can practice and try different things. Press on.  🙂
