In the Studio Week 1

Well, I've been able to spend my first week in the newly resurfaced studio.    I had an added pleasure of having an art friend join me for two days to paint alongside me.   Painting is a solitary profession or craft so it's nice to have a like soul to share the opportunity.   Jane' s Perspective says it's fun to paint with someone else but equally important just to get your butt in there and paint.   Like my husband says, I get a little "bitchy" if I go too long without painting.  Here's a picture of what I was able to accomplish in acrylic paint that week - still needs some touching up on the smaller pieces, big one is 4' X 5' and it's done, the one on the easel only has it's underpainting AND the floor is a work in progress ( first spatters are already there!).
