My current work of violets in a ceramic bowl need to dry a bit before I proceed with it.

What to do until that happens? I try to paint every day during the week and take the week end off to see family and friends. But, my mind is on what to accomplish while the violets dry.

I spent some time looking at my considerable stacks of photos to determine what my next piece of work would be. I found two that I would consider attempting. The first is a picture of my niece Jill when she was a small child of about 3-4 years old. I always liked this photo and I thing I will give it a try. The second is a beach scene on the Island of Rhodes, Greece that I took in about 1996. Both are possibilities for new work.
