My very first PAINTING in the world ever...

I've just read the post below about amateurs not posting. Really sorry. I'd love to be a professional but know it'll probably not happen. I'm sorry if I've taken up time that could be used more effectively for other, more established artists. I'd still appreciate any responses seeing as I've posted here, and would really appreciate people pointing me in the direction of any Forums that might be more suitable for a beginner like myself.

A couple of details about the painting.

It is of my girlfriend, and was done on a Saturday afternoon in her parent's garage with light pouring in through the window. I did it in a couple of hours because the light kept changing.

Sorry if I've been a nuisance.

Thanks everyone.

Adam.
