Upcoming project idea

After a proverbial hiatus from semi-representational/naturalistic painting, I have bought a canvas to a scale I am comfortable with. There is a photograph I took a few years back which I would like to see as a painting. It has been a long while since I have done any sort of realistic painting, mainly because my skills as a representational painter are sub par. I might have to re-gesso the store-bought canvas as the surface is not to my liking... we'll see.
