Then, Elaine, it will sort itself all out as you continue to paint, learn, and share with us. The main thing is to enjoy your journey!

We are simply not wanting to offer critique of your paintings according to a style of painting which is not the direction that you want to go in. But, I think I understand where you are now. I am so happy for you that you are now able to pursue the fondness for art that you had as a young girl.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.
