I'm wildly excited about my new art studio! I moved some of my art supplies in a few weeks ago, and spent a fantastic Friday night getting it organized. It was so fun to bring in boxes of my things and slowly start transforming it into a working space.

Oh yeah....blank canvases are like candy to an artist![/caption]
This space will give me the room to work BIG! The studio in my home was not really conducive to working on large canvases - and now I have space to spread out and go large! One of the first things I did was to hang up a triptych I have been working on to see how it would actually look side by side. I was amazed that even in my former cramped corners I had still lined things up well for this project.

It's looking like it will work...[/caption]
A new piece has begun to take form. I was hired by a woman from Connecticut to do a commissioned piece for her. It is also a triptych...and I have had so much fun getting it started! Can's wait to see how it turns out...

While I am letting one dry, I can turn around and add layers on another one. So fun! So free!!

Step 2.... Adding some acrylics[/caption]

Step 3.... having fun with circles[/caption]
In addition to having more space to paint, I am also thrilled to be a part of an artist community. I am the 9th artist who has studio space in this building. You can find samples of their work here! I am very excited and honored to be among such talented artists!
