I know I am lucky and I make sure to appreciate it everyday. Yesterday when I was pouting to myself that here I was, dealing with having to have the old air conditioner and not being able to move into the space that has yet to be made over, I looked around, even in the mess, and thought "Well, plenty would be happy to just have this space at all, so buck up and get to work".
Even now, with the limp from my toe and the mess from things packed up but now needing to be put back until next year, I will have a pretty cool space to paint. I will share more 'studio' posts now that I can get up there and you can pretend you are there with me :)
When I get the other space also done, it'd be so cool one Summer to have a Steemit artist retreat here, I mean people would have to sleep in sleeping bags or cots around the studio or in the house on sofa's or the floor, but it could be a cool bohemian Steemit artist retreat, don't you think?
Thank you, I love working with oils and the smell always entices me. I often do more 'physical' art in the Summer because I do have the room, though I pretty much approach my painting the same way in digital, but not the lovely smell :)
