E is for Elvis

I have ideas for paintings all the time.  I jot them down on scraps of paper or add them to the "Notes" app on my phone.  Unfortunately, it usually takes forever for one of these little seedlings to actually make it off the list and into full bloom.  This morning I marked 22 good ideas on the list that I would love to start painting today.  22!  That's a tad overwhelming, but eventually I settled on one that seemed like a fun way to spend a Friday morning.  I have this idea for a Memphis themed alphabet poster.  I've been making a list on my phone for nearly a year of ideas for each letter.  This morning I started with E, for Elvis (of course!).

I'm still not sure how I'm going to put this whole deal together but I think it'll be fun to work on!  Plus I can work on it a little at a time, here and there,  so maybe somebody else will make it off "the list" soon too.
