  1. Interesting list of possibilities. What about combining your interests here? flowers, Monet, painterly approaches, textures, and unorthodox 3-D build ups (paper towels)? You can also experiment with less costly supports than pre-made stretched canveses (built-up cardboard in layers for more support that can be easily shaped as well for ovals, tondos (round), or whatever? Spend the $ on paint, gels, texturing gels, etc.
