Couldn't Wait




Well I am always impatient and this week has been no exception. Once it was official that I could have the whole boat shed for my studio I just had to get in there as soon as possible regardless of the fact that workmen will have to come in and get around all my stuff. I have moved my entire painting equipment, easels, tables, cupboards etc. into the end that is my work area. This gave me time to push it all around and get the right set up so I could tell the plumber tomorrow where to install my sink. There is still lots more to do and I have to wait for the tradies to fit my job in but I have so much more space to work in that I don't mind waiting for it all to be finished as it does not stop me painting. Here are some "before the renovation" shots. Beyond the table is about another 8 feet so I am going to have plenty of hanging space to fill up!

I have been so excited that I started this painting - my very first in my new studio, at 6am yesterday and finished it before morning tea! Today I have worked on two more and really getting a feel for my new environment

  10. This space looks amazing. I remember how excited I was when I got my art room which is minute in comparison to this but was nevertheless a space I could devote to all things art and would stop me invading the whole house. It even took away some of the trauma of my son moving out as it had been his room... not that I pushed him out of course but the tears I shed were less than they may have been!! I too, couldn't wait and though I had a short spell where I didn't use it am back in there now nearly every day... it is an absolute mess and needs a jolly good tidying not to mention cleaning, but I still love it!!
