Hand Painting Attempt

After researching and experimenting with hand painting for a couple of weeks this was the result. I decided against mounting it and formally presenting it because I am just not crazy about how it turned out and don't want to waste matting supplies. In the future, I plan on working on my blending a bit more and choosing an image to paint that may be a bit more conducive to painting, that is to say, has more than just the sky to paint.
