    Default Ideas for my next painting?

    I'm trying to to get an idea for my next painting in my Talisman series.

    I usually use iconic objects....like the revolver, train, etc.
    Any ideas? Suggestions? It doesn't necessarily have to be DT related...but could be another SK book.

    I was thinking Bird and Bear and Hare and Fish...but I'm not very good with animals...and I like to photograph the object before painting it...and I can't exact collect wildlife.

    I'm looking for pretty much an object...or concept.
    thanks!

    Dark Tower would definitely be interesting.

    If it doesn't have to be DT related, I would suggest something from It. The paper boat from the opening of the book would be cool

    Roland in front of the Dark Tower?
    I don't like the one where he's standing there with a rose, and I'm sure you could make a way better one

    Dark Tower - definitely. I do like the paper boat idea from IT, though.

    I really love the idea of the paper boat in the water.

    The Dark Tower I'll have to think on...it's one of those things I'd need a solid idea of it in my head first....I did do one a long time ago of the Dark Tower but that was when my paintings really sucked! I'll try to find it and post it if I get a chance.

    More ideas though...Keep them coming!

    I also have progress photos of my other paintings on my blog...

    I'd like to suggest something with Roland's hawk David, flying over Gilead.

    Both Pam, and Jayson's ideas are lovely - two things that I'd love to see painted by you. Your work is completely mind-blowing!

    I think I recall (correct me if I'm wrong) you mentioning that you don't often paint people? How about a representation of the ka-tet? For instance, Susannah's wheelchair, etc...etc...I'm not sure where this idea's going...It seemed good in my mind.

    the scrimshaw turtle, the road/ crossing sign from River Crossing, Eddie and Susannah's wedding ring or Henry Dean's head on a plate . . . haha . . . that last one would be funny, in a really twisted sort of way . . .

    a smashed blue plate, a sandwich with the crusts cut off, a bonfire, and a needle?

    I think that's a wonderful idea.

    What about something that's reminiscent of the Girl and Ship series from Duma Key. Like the just the rag doll in a row boat or something.

    My sai has been obsessed with that bridge into Lud Gan knows for how long, so I think he'd just faint with sheer joy if you ever did it. Lovely idea, indeed! I'm eagerly waiting.. and waiting..
