I know I've missed you. Although I have not been painting portraits recently, I have been busy. After we took a vacation to California to celebrate my husband's birthday I took advantage of a lull in commissions to tackle a long overdue project - the renovation of my studio/office. It was the one room in the house that had not been touched since we moved in and believe me it needed some attention. So I emptied it out, stripped it down to the bare walls and floor and started over. Now I have a much less cluttered, multi-functional space and I'm ready to get cracking. I'm excited about some cool projects I'm about to begin and looking forward to filling up the pipeline with new commissions. Believe it or not, it's only 6 months until the Holidays and not too soon to start commissioning a painting (or two) as gifts for your family and friends. My calendar fills up fast. Plus think how good it will feel to already have those gifts out of the way! I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon and sharing lots of new pieces as they progress!
First I painted a band of metallic paint so I can use magnets on the wall.
I used another product to create a chalkboard area before
painting the final wall color - a lovely bright, buttery yellow.
Carpet tiles were an easy way to cover the floor as well as practical.
(If I make a mess I only have to replace the bad tiles.)
New blinds will help to reduce glare at certain times of the day.
I really like the industrial look of this shelving unit.
It gives me a great place now to store all my canvases and other supplies.
Several work stations make this space really multifunctional.
Locked and loaded and ready for my next commission.
Will it be yours?
