sketches

Perpetual problem I have when it comes to my painting is making decisions. Even the very first one: what to paint! When I first started painting I felt I had no subject; I was always looking for something to paint ... I painted my lunch; I painted leftover green beans in a pot on the stove; I painted cinder blocks piled in the side yard. 

Now I sometimes feel like I have too much to paint: there are so many subjects ... And not enough time.

This was the scene that I decided not to do last time I took a class with Susan Abbott. But I'm thinking about going back to it because I think it has a simple, graphic quality to it, and it also may tell a story. 

So these are just a couple of small, 3x3, sketches in my sketchbook.
