There are a few motivating factors however. The Preble County Art Association now has an online directory of local artists, myself included. Hopefully it will get me some much needed extra exposure. Check it out, there are some very talented people out there!
And in other news, an electrician will be stopping by this afternoon to give me an estimate for wiring a room in our house, soon (hopefully) to be my studio space. There's a lot of work to be done first - it has been used as storage space for probably 50 years or more. It was originally the kitchen and has a huge fireplace with some original cabinetry. Here's a shot of one corner, including the fireplace. And yes, that is a deer skull on the mantle - my husband found it a couple of years ago. It will show up in a painting one of these days.

Wow! What a great space for a studio. Congrats on getting in the directory.
ReplyDeleteLove the space!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It really is the best room in the house, I'm looking forward to being able to use it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great spacce for a studio! I hope your electrician turned up ok.
ReplyDeleteCoincidence on the skull - on a walk exploring the new neighbourhood today, I picked up a goat's skull and will probably start drawing it in the morning. Can you post yours first????
A goat skull sounds cool Sue! We actually have quite the collection of bones, fossils, rocks and assorted weird stuff that you find in the woods and along streams, I should start drawing and painting that sort of thing more often. The next week or so is going to be pretty busy for me, but I'll see if I can maybe do a pastel of the skull - Georgia O'Keeffe style perhaps? LOL
ReplyDeleteGeorgia O'Keeffe style would be fabulous. I might try that myself ;?
ReplyDeleteWell that sounds like a challenge. I'll give it a try if you do!
