I’ve 
been able to unpack, regroup, and yes, even paint in the past few days!
I got into the habit of taking photos with my iphone when I see something I can use for reference… a great excuse to get out there and walk the neighborhood!
I tried this out on one of my Iphone pics, of one of our Orchids in a nice asian style pot. I have a long way to go in terms of perspective, the pot is way out of sync, but I think I did OK on the orchid itself. I have a long way to go, though and from what I understand, the best way to get anywhere, is to just keep painting!
