I’ve been trying to figure out what I can offer my patrons to make their investment pay a little dividend. I am frequently asked to paint this flower or that flower. Not as a commissioned work-usually because they’re students or as poor as I am. And I do take note and try to do those things. It keeps me out of a rut of poppies and peonies. Well I’ve decided that patrons get priority on flower suggestions. If there’s a flower you love I haven’t painted or a color you’d like me to paint a favorite flower in that will be my next painting.
