New Look Studio
I've been lamenting about lack of space to paint in my art "studio" area at home. Then Gavin suggested I move my studio into our office / guestroom. I had a very large desk in that room which I used when I practiced from home before working at Remede Wellness and I don't often sit at that desk when I do work at home because I prefer to sit at the dining table overlooking our lovely courtyard. Having said that the office also looks over the courtyard - go figure!
This project is a case of be careful what you wish for. It has involved a lot of upheaval in that room including needing to sell the desk (sold last weekend - yay!) and a cabinet, and move a large bookcase plus downsize said bookcase contents to make way for art gear. And, go through years of paperwork in my filing cabinets which I'd been studiously avoiding. As you do.
The room had a red brick wall which Gavin has since painted. He has also constructed a terrific wall easel which is designed so I can put any size canvas on there and move it around as needed. I can even have multiple canvases on the go at one time which is great for working on a series. Here's a couple of preliminary photos but not the finished studio set up yet. I'll share that with you next time. I can't wait to finish setting it up. Hooray!
