Decision Time

It's always great to finish a painting and feel overall pretty good about it.  But then there's always a
"now what".  So here I am.  I have been pleasantly surprised by the nice comments I've had about the snow painting.  I was worried because I really have seen very little snow in my life.  And oddly enough everyone has liked the colors.  Well, I feel very confident about my use of color.  I am thinking about another one and have had a request to do a large one for a condo in NYC.  And I probably will do that.  And I have a photo I took with some birds in a tree.  I would really like to do that even though most people won't like it and thus it will probably not sell.  Not that that has ever stopped me from painting what I want.
Then the other evening I noticed the late afternoon sun coming through the front door had really interesting  shapes and colors ( I go crazy over shapes).  I love the way the sunlight dances through the vine on the front porch.
Every time I've tried to paint this week something  has come up and now I'm getting frustrated about not being able to get in the studio besides wondering where I'm going to start, or really even "why", since  I don't even have a gallery to show in.
Oh well!.  For some reason, I just have to paint.  It's like an affliction.  Somewhere inside something is schreaming at me, "paint, paint, paint!'  So, paint I will, when I decide where to start.
I'm still contemplating how I can best do my"relationship" series.  I've had a few more ideas with mixed media.  That just needs to cook for awhile.
