paint

Brad told me the other day that I should keep up with painting, he knows how much I enjoy it. However- the things I end up painting aren't necessarily things I would hang in my house. I love those whimiscal trees and the other things I have done, but I am drawn more to abstract paintings personally. The problem is that I cant paint the things I like! I have tried but it always ends up looking like I tried too hard. I won't give up on that just yet, but in the meantime I want your help. So, to all of you that said you liked my paintings- do you have any suggestions of something you would like? I am open to trying anything so send all suggestions, ideas, thoughts my way. otherwise, I will end up doing another whimsical something just for jollies.
