Okay readers .......
..... come with me on a 'studio' tour - thought there may be one or two of you who may be interested to see where I work.
This is a pile of canvases, work boards and papers that are either works in progress, finished stuff, boards to tape paper onto to put on my easel.
I have my computer desk in here also - it is handy to have it nearby plus I can play on it when I am waiting for something to dry or waiting for ideas .... lol.
Note Fozzie - he has a lovely soft daybed in the studio but more often than not he likes to sleep under the desk on my feet. Oh and Mr Spot more often than not steals the day bed.
Miss Calico prefers to sleep in the cat tree through the day but often pops in to look out the window or just for a cuddle.
The doors are great for sticking charcoal sketches on - I sometimes sketch out my ideas then look at all the sketches to find one pleasing.
I have this 5 drawer cabinet that I put rollers on and I use it to hold whatever media I am using at the time. The good thing about it is the 5 drawers are large enough to hold most of my finished artworks that have been done in watercolour, charcoal or pencil. It is A2 sized.
I also have this cork board that I have pinned pictures that take my fancy and may one day turn into an artwork.
Oh and I guess this is very important - the actual easel ... lol
This is my relaxation wall ... lol - actually I have a few little shrine areas to The Buddha in my house, being a Buddhist, but this one is in my studio - hopefully he watches over me when I paint. My tiny Tibetan singing bowl sits here as well.
Also the little bookcase holds some art books that didn't fit in the big bookcase in my family room, I would love to have one room just for books. My little stereo sits here too but I have to admit it doesn't get used very often as I have an ipod on my desk (did you notice it) that gets turned on first thing and it is the last thing to turn off.
So I hope you enjoyed this little tour.
The downside is packing up 38 years of accumulated 'stuff' - when I think about that I am positive I will stay here instead .... lol.
Anyway I will make my mind up next year and if I do decide to stay here I will convert the garage.

Back to the orange/red hair colour - damages the hair too much to keep bleaching it even though I am very grey .... lol. Not a good picture - will try and get a better one to put here later.
So instead I have gone bright red with blonde streaks through it where the hair is too porous to hold colour; will probably stay with the shades that don't need lightening the hair for a few times.
