At least it would be my first choice. I think it would be challenging from a lighting perspective as well as line/texture perspective. Beyond that, it would be interesting to see if it could be translated into a fabric piece. My 2 cents. Have fun with whichever one you choose to use for your upcoming class!Cay Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547980705264241087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364828980944336570.post-86255944698209596602015-05-15T21:49:17.957-04:002015-05-15T21:49:17.957-04:00Can't go wrong with that Hopper!Can't go wrong with that Hopper!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364828980944336570.post-49633752865613109732015-05-15T20:44:10.966-04:002015-05-15T20:44:10.966-04:00Sounds like a great course.
