The studio. The second felt board is on the long green wall! Under it there is room where a still life can be created. I do need to see if the lighting equipment I have can do soft lighting. I have the set up for teaching live. Mic, web cam, lights____. I am loving getting a studio up and running.

It’s about how to make a studio cottage work. It is turning out that the one long wall connecting what is the kitchen and the studio is no longer a “livingroom wall” There are no windows on this wall, so I put landscape all along the wall. Now the wall has evolved once more. Now, along the wall____ half is the studio set up and the other half it turns out that my writing desk works: behind me is the kitchen, and I am sitting in the kitchen as I write.

It feels cozy, and its about my work. There is no Thomas. There are grandchildren and a daughter and her husband. My time is my own. So I am good. And when the granny hat goes on I am good then too!

Peaks at the studio.

The first image is the first felt board. The second image is the new board.

I keep telling myself it will get there. It is coming together I made more shelf space when I put the new board up! The catch is what to do with the new displacement of art supplies, etc. Organization right?

The new easel lays flat, I can put a portable drafting table on this as well. Three surfaces to work on. Plus tge top of the art file.

I will hang framed art next, that will get it off the floor. I was waiting to paint walls. But figure I can do that later. I need to get things working not just in the studio. But so I can function otherwise.

Best wishes! Pejj
