Bella-sognatore

Hello, I am a new --and very much so developing-- artist, and I use that term very lightly. I have grown up in a house hold where the only way is the practical way, so when I started to become interested in art I became very discouraged when I was put down by the people around me. I came here looking for advice, criticism, and support. I am unsure if I have even acquired a talent for art but would love to hear your thoughts and opinion on my work, and I thank you for you time.
