Two things cooking at the moment. The first is I met with Chris from Just Canvas this week to see his prototype for my canvas sketchbook/palette color book. He had a great start and it was very close to what I had in mind. He is going to retool it and have a new version ready to look at sometime next week. As soon as I get it, I will of course post some pictures. I think the idea will work for many other artists well beyond what my concept is for.

The second thing is I had an image pop into my head that I want to paint, but I suspect it may be more of a challenge than I can manage. One of the biggest challenges with Scyring is the inability thus far to produce purposeful detail. I can do accidental detail and vague detail, but when I want to do something on purpose, at least on a small canvas scale it is near impossible, so I am trying to envision images that can be done with what I know works so far.

I think this might work, but I also think it may end up looking nothing like I intend it. I did the following rudimentary sketch and have started to sketch an outline on the canvas for painting. It is a spectre of the stars gazing down at something, it might be the flower as depicted in the preliminary sketch, it may be a pool of waters containing stars or it maybe something else entirely.
