I've always been self-conscious of my painting ability. Growing up as someone who was artistically inclined, people always asked me about my paintings, and I would always have to sheepishly tell them that I don't paint. I've always been pretty good with pencils, pens, and with digital art, I've always struggled with painting. Every once in a while I decide to give it another shot, and last night, I finally painted something that I am proud of.  I was going to do a lot more with this, but I decided against it, leaving it as a simple sunset over a body of water. I realize that this painting is by no means incredible or life like, but it is better than anything I've ever done, and it's inspired me to keep trying with painting. Never give up on something. You never know when you might love it, or when it will make sense to you. - Cody S
