Garden Angel Painting

I thought I'd switch things up a bit and post an old painting I did when I first started tole painting. I only took a couple of lessons at Shelley's Painted Treasures and then just worked on my own. This is definitely tole painting and not fine art!

I sort of shudder when I look at this - so "I'm new at this" look to it....but I post these in case someone else is just starting out and is discouraged. I got better at this painting bit and so will anyone else who sticks with it.
