The idea of studies for paintings are really tests in my spirit. Am I interested enough in this to bring it into a painting. Will others see a story they are interested in? Studies may have elements of painting buy they lack something...still valued but different.

Last art made 2017 and 1st art of 2018 "Opossum" /
This opossum attacked my chickens. The Rooster stepped in but got battered. When I frantically tried to shoo it from the coop-- opossum turned toward me!
Yes the poor creature would have killed the chickens and would have hurt me too; had to take it's life. I feel bad as I know all God's creatures have a golden side, a useful side. Opossums, as I researched, eat a multitude of Ticks. They keep the Lyme disease from the tick born virus away from us.
