My challenges

I chose this title for this portfolio because in all honesty I haven't been painting for very long and I am learning as I go. I see something that either catches my eye or that poses a challenge for me and suddenly I am drawn to paint it on canvas. I guess you could say that I have an extreme desire to capture a painting and make it as realistic as possible. I actually seek to initiate the controversy on whether a painting is a photograph or not. Nevertheless, I am trying and hope to one day produce such an achievement.
