I finally had a couple of hours to put my paintings back after surveying them for the upcoming solo show, “Around Here and Sometimes a Little Farther” in August.
Once again, I was so pleased with my little studio where I draw and display art that I took some more photos.
A friend/former neighbor was staying in the vacation rental across the street and requested a look into my studio. Since he reads my blog, he knew that it was in disarray so he waited until I let him know that order had been restored. He walked over for a visit (with Mabel, a Pembroke Welsh corgi), and I first showed him the workshop where I paint. He asked a few questions, and then wondered if I would paint a giant Sequoia for him.
But of course!
I told him he could have the incomplete one on the easel, and I’d even box it up and send it home with him wet. He agreed (with the understanding that I’d finish it first).
We moved into the studio, where he selected 3 more paintings.
I told him that isn’t why I invited him to see the studio and he responded that it is why he wanted to see it.
So I carried the 3 paintings over to his place because he needed to keep Mabel on her leash (she was getting used to the turkeys so he needed to be ready for who knew what might happen.) I propped them on the sofa table and photographed them to show you.
What a week! A visit with my longtime friend, finding a print for someone, selling some paintings, two dogs visiting my workplace. . . but wait! There’s more!
Tell you next time. . .

I love your studio/ art gallery with all of your paintings on display! I’d say your neighbor chose some wonderful art to take home!
Michelle, it isn’t as organized as your art desk, but it is a great little converted shed. When I see other people’s art studios complete with bookshelves, a couch, a bathroom, and sometimes a kitchenette, I feel like the country mouse. But it suits me!
Way to go!
Thanks, Gnat! It wasn’t my doing, so all I can say is “Thank you, Lord!” (And my friend too, of course.)
Is that one of your paintings on the rental house wall?
Kathy, no, that is by the home owner’s sister. She paints much more loosely than I do, which isn’t visible from that distance.
What? No picture of Mabel???
Marjie, I thought about it a bit too late.
An honor to have a mention in your blog and to have more of your work on my walls.

And an honor to have been able to spend time with you!
