Today this is where I paint in this  studio or if the weather is friendly I might find a spot out side for a plien air painting which I am doing more of lately. As artist we work where ever we find the space to paint and the inspiration for our art.I draw on airplanes and in hotel rooms, I carry a pad of sketch pad and a pencil in my purse.I have found that even the worse thumb nail of an idea is better than thinking I will recall it later.

 

 I have a large area to paint in with several tables. One for cutting matts, one that is set up for watercolors when I do them which isn't often and I also keep a computer on a table for pictures I take and use in my paintings. I am an oil painter. This computer is just used for painting. I have another in my office for my art business.

My office is in a different area and my other two computers are there, along with my files and the phone,fax,and copier. I think many people think artist just paint, they forget about the business side of our work and all the record keeping we do.

 

 This area where I paint also has a 15x20 feet area where I have shelve where I store paintings, matts,frames,and canvas. I will be building a new studio soon where the light will be better and I will have better storage space. To be in galleries and art shows takes a lot of inventory which has to be stored.

 

I am a daily painter and my work can viewed at http://www.dailypainters.com/

The nice thing about this is most of the paintings are very small quick works and take up almost no space to store, so I have a lot of fun trying out new things and seeing how many people take a look.
