My father was a painter but am I?

I never viewed myself as an artist, this is what my professional artists friends around me did .  I finally tried by hand at painting again, I think the last time I did any art making was with my father in grade 2 where he taught me how to do some block printing.    But here is my first attempt around painting, I slowly realized that you could choose a couple of your favourite brushes to do all the colors, my backgrounds became an art palette where I would essentially clean the excess color paint off my brushes. I must admit I am happy with these three paintings for my Painting 1 class with Mandy.
