Planning Artwork in a Series

Have you participated in a painting challenge? do you lay out a series of work at the beginning of a year?

"Who Has Seen the Wind?" a 12"x16" painting and part of my landscape series planned this year.

Do you plan work in a similar fashion? How do you do it? Why do you think it helps?

If you can't make out my handwriting, the upper left series is a floral theme, with the centerpiece being a large-ish peony painting with two smaller peony paintings, as well as a 20x20 square and two 12x16s.

The second set is a landscape series with a large, pastoral landscape at the center (that I may reproduce) and two horizontal 12x16s and two horizontal 9x12s.

The third set is a set of four kitchen still lifes as well as a series of vertical 16x12 inch ale paintings.

I'm well into the landscape series. I have a couple of sanguine portrait drawings to do in April, and then it's on to the rest!
