MY STUDIO GETS A FACE LIFT

Just finished arranging my Back Porch Studio where it has now become a wonderful work space for my craft work.  I had been working at my small table in the kitchen where it was really crowded and hard to have my paints nearby.   Now I have lots of room to spread out and my tools are near at hand.

I purchased a 6 foot folding table, a 5 foot folding table and used my 4 foot camper table to make a "U" shaped work station.  I have room for my sewing machine and paint supplies on top and storage under the tables for my inventory.  The other side of the room will be for framed canvas paintings that I display on easels.

I attached a light fixture under the shelf over my work station and also have overhead lighting and a table lamp in the corner.  I brought my office chair into the studio and it is perfect for moving about while working.

I really love this arrangement and am excited to begin painting once again.  Just finished my Alligator Series and plan to do a Childhood Memories, Rocking Chair, and Front Porch Series next.

WELCOME TO MY BACK PORCH STUDIO

I've decided to use my breakfast nook for my Painting Nook.  I never sit at that table to eat anyway so why not put it to use. 

Now all of my paints and brushes and supplies are all at my fingertips.  It's a bit crowded but manageable.  

I'm currently working on a series of alligator paintings that will be used in the children's book I'm writing.  This is one called "The Alligator Fight."   My furry friend, Ali Cat grabs my chair as soon as I'm out of it.  Here she is covering her face.  I guess she doesn't like the painting ;-)

I do place a recent piece on the side bar of my homepage so that followers will know that the blog has been updated.

I add art work to my Pages, listed at the top, almost every day but not on my home page - so you'll need to check back often.
