What to Paint?
I have three blank canvases size 18x24. These can be a series, or 3 different subjects. Some subjects might work better in a larger 30x40 size. HELP me decide:
For the three existing 18x24 canvases should I paint
A Three Taylor Twins in Marin Paintings (ie top 2 candidates above plus 1 more tbd)
B Three Ocean Gull paintings (ie 3rd photo composite above + 2 more tbd)
C Three Flower Fantasy paintings (ie 4-5 photo composites above + 1 more tbd)
D One of each: Photo 1, 3 and 4
E One of each: Photo 2, 3 and 5
OR should I buy two more 30x40 canvases and paint
F Two large Taylor Twins in Marin paintings and use the 18 x 24 canvases for B or C above
G Two Flower Fantasy paintings and use the 18 x 24 canvases for A or B above
Please Pick A, B, C, D, E, F, or G and help me decide!!

Thanksgiving Hike along the Trails above Rossmoor in the East Bay
Thanksgiving day socially distancing hike with family. Clear blue skies, fabulous views, unique terrain, steep uphill - well worth the effort!
