Nursing student painter is leaving original creations around town as gifts

Boston resident Jake Garcia has only been painting for five months, but his art is already becoming a collector's item. Garcia is a nursing student at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Services who recently discovered a love for painting. He's started leaving several of his original paintings in spots around Boston, letting his Twitter followers know where they can look for his latest pieces. He hopes that he also inspires people to pick up their own paintbrushes.

"We've all been inside and a beautiful thing to do is to just go outside and just enjoy the sounds and the sights and the smells and just paint what you see," he told CBS Boston. "I think that's really nice and I think more people need to do it."
