Getting bigger

Stockbridge – work in progress, 30x40cm, oil on canvas

Now that that’s over, I’m moving on to some larger canvases, and now suddenly I have too many options. Do I focus on cityscapes next, as I had planned? Pursue Highland landscapes a bit more, as they turned out to be my favorite new subject last month? Go back to the Edinburgh pub and restaurant series I was starting to sketch out in my head? Sometimes I wish someone would just tell me what to do, so I could know which direction to run in.

Highlands – work in progress, 30x40cm, oil on canvas

As it is, it seems I’m kind of going the Highlands route, with a little Edinburgh thrown in. It’s cold, wet, and windy outside this week, so I don’t feel like going out to gather new material, but I have 1000s of photos of the Highlands that I’m still sorting through, so plenty to work from there. When I put it that way, it all sounds so logical. More Highlands for me!
