Just started oil painting

My physical and occupational therapist kept telling me I'm walking around acting like my glass it's always half-empty. They knew I had just started oil painting and they challenged me to paint a glass half full so I took them up on it and this is what I have. I put the logo of their company with heart mountain in the background with a few symbols painted into it. Oil takes a while to dry so I plan on giving it to them at the end of my therapy with them. I'm still learning so I hope they like it . They have taught me so much how to cope with my MS and helped me so much and I so thankful. I don't know how to send my pictures in to the art page here but I'll post it here.

Hi mhansenm1 and welcome!😊 Well your in the right place if you think your glass is only half empty. Cause here we just flip it over and dump it out.🤣😂 Then fill it with something better!

Your painting is beautiful! And when it's time for submissions again, I think in October. Nov. We will be sure to let you know!

It must be amazing living by Yellowstone! 🤗💕

I love your painting! It tells the story you were challenged to paint....and it's elegant in showing the half empty glass. I bet your PT and OT will love it. And if they don't, I'll buy it!
