I’m torn between what to paint next.
The Subject Possibilities






The only size boards I have on hand are 11 x 14 and 8 x 10″, so not another large one until I’ve made some money to cover the expense of buying another large board. Any day now payment for a ‘license to use’ should be dropping into my account, though, so a large board could be on the easel soon. Or, it could be next year, lol. Sometimes these things take time.
A Poll: What to paint next?
I’d love to hear your opinion.
My Leanings…
I like all of these subjects and so am having a hard time choosing which one. I love the rural scene most but think I’d like to do that one on another large board.
I’d like to also continue my series on our native orchids, and want to start one on the ginseng habitat plants, too. Ginseng, bloodroot, the cohoshes, and many others fall into this category. Then there’s the native medicinals, which include those but many sun-loving plants too.
It’s been a while since I’ve added a bird of prey to my series in progress, so would like to do one of those, too.
And, I’ve never done a frog or a turtle or a tortoise. Either would add to my ‘Critters’ series.
Choosing what to paint next is harder when there’s so many options. And unfortunately, I don’t think there’s enough years left in my life to paint everything I’d like to paint, haha.

I’m a nature-lover, real estate agent & artist. Sometimes, I also write things. I began using local pigments to paint scenes from nature in the Ozarks in 2018.
If you’re interested in buying or selling in rural northwest AR, get in touch with me by phone, text, or email. I’m happy to help! I have a separate website for my real estate blogging and information at WildOzarkLand.com.
All of my artwork is available in prints, and where originals are available, they are for sale. You can find all of that over at shop.WildOzark.com.
Call me “Roxann” or “Madison”, either one works.
For pretty much everything online, I go by Madison Woods, a pen name I adopted when I first began writing and then later with my art. For real estate, I use my real name, Roxann Riedel. And for my fiction, there’s yet another pen name: Ima Erthwitch.
