I wanted to paint an A's themed painting for my boyfriend, as he's a huge A's fan and I wanted to make him something special, and I'm not happy with it.

Now, the photo doesn't accurately portray the colors in the painting. I'm quite happy with the colors. I used the A's team colors, green for the main backdrop of the painting and the yellow for the A, and then I used different shades of green and yellow to highlight the painting to give it some depth.

I can't pinpoint what it is, but I'm just not happy with how it turned out, which is such a huge bummer for me because I had so much fun painting it, but now I'm doubtful that it's not good enough. I'm worried he won't like it.

I really want to make this perfect for my boyfriend, so any tips on how to make it better would be really appreciated.

Can you help me with my painting for my boyfriend?

I love the painting. If you make it any more perfect you will wreck it. I have overdone paintings before. You can't do UNDO with paintings. When you are not happy with it that is probably as good as it will get. And I think it is wonderful. You don't want it to look like a photo.

Remember it is the thought that counts! And how thoughtful you are to go to this much trouble for your bf. Hope he appreciates it as much as I do.
