Following the Muse

Being house bound these days has meant that I've been able to focus solely on my studies and on my artwork. It also means that I've been able to follow the muse wherever it leads. Since I have a few 8x10 standard canvases left in my stock I've begun painting a few wildflowers again (as part of the 52 WEEKS::Wildflowers series) and since I've been seeing the crocuses pop up I decided one should be a crocus (almost done). Also, I have a few 7x14 inch canvases left from the 52 WEEKS::Heroes series so I've been painting portraits that my daughter requested a few years ago. This along with The Grandmothers series, the Rocky Mountains and the CityScapes have kept me quite busy. Switching back and forth is great as it helps me solve composition and pattern problems as they arise. There's definitely never a dull moment.
