Just started a new painting, another 10x10 and yes another pansy.  This one is more colorful than the last one.  So far it seems to be coming out pretty well.  Thinking of contacting a greenhouse to get permission to photograph their flowers.  I can't seem to get any good macro shots with the wind blowing the flowers. 
Solved my light issues, at least some of them.  I am working out of my cellar, I know terrible place to be working but for now it is the only place I have.  It has it's good points, no one dares come down there and second I can be as messy as I want and it doesn't hurt anything.
