What to paint next?

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.
