A comment was made recently by Kent that I should show some photos of my studio, so here they are:
The windows on the left face the North, which provides the perfect light for painting. Southern light is not as good because it creates a glare on the canvas. The other windows face the back of our lot, which is bordered by a brook. This is an idyllic country setting in which to paint.
I love the view out my windows, but I prefer loud music to the peace of the countryside when I'm painting. The past couple of weeks I've been listening to Bruce Springsteen's DEVILS & DUST cd. I tend to listen to the same cd over and over when I work until I sense a need for a change.
I am still working on my black and white series. I made a grid of lines on some canvasses by applying masking tape, painting over it, and then removing the tape. We'll see what I can make of this background.
Happy Holidays!
