A few days ago marked 2 years since I first ever tried oil painting. I thought it would be interesting, much like I did last year, to re-paint the first painting I ever tried to paint. Here is the progress. It's really interesting to see how much evolution took place in the past 2 years. I think this one was my 81st painting I made.

Any feedback as to what I can continue working on or which particular aspect of the painting I need to keep working on developing? It would be a good goal for the next year.

The one I made this week is obviously the Feb 2021 version.

All of this to say that, if you ever had any desire to paint, do it. Let this thread be proof that an old dog can indeed learn new tricks and that you don't need any special innate 'talent' to paint. As Bob Ross said, talent is a pursued interest. If something interests you enough, and you're willing to dedicate some time to it, then you'll improve.

Edit: had a picture of one of my painting

Nice stuff man. Did you follow along with Bob?

I use a variety of oil paints depending on what they have at my local art store. It's mostly van gogh or windsor newton brand.

I've actually never done that, so they're really piling up!

I didn't like them either. For the sake of this painting, I wanted to really follow along with the episode, but I don't particularly like Bob's clouds here. I added a bit more on the right that I then covered with the big tree.
