Workrooms on my mind..

School has recommenced after a long and much needed break for

my beautiful son Oscar. Though it has been magic to have him home

for so long and be able to spend some one-on-one time with him, 

I am relieved to be able to go back to work on a couple of paintings

for local Clients. I am eager to get my workroom and myself in gear

and am generally dreaming about spaces like these..

Well I say 'workroom' but who am I kidding!? There would

be no working done here what-so-ever. Not with that view!

 I love that crazy wall and the fact that the ceiling height

goes on for ever. A mezzanine level - yes, that is what I 

need!! And a fantastic ladder like that! How brilliant!

A little too much like an interrogation room for my taste,

but taking the room apart I love the individual pieces.

Also this strict nothingness appeals to the very tired mother

in me.. No clutter. No mess. No piles of stuff every where.. :)

And yes, this is meant to be me (isn't for real tho'..) and

how I should be looking when I work (only I don't..).

Would love a space like this! Another fabulous ladder!

Lots of light through fantastic steel framed windows (my

favourite kind..) and a wonderful destressed brick wall.

My real studio / workspace is so small that I currently have to

paint in the dining room as the canvas I am working on is quite

large (1m x 1.2m). The lack of space isn't really because the
room is small, it's because my enormous stacks of stuff make it
feel very small. When we moved to this place we down-sized
quite considerably and I now simply don't have enough room for
my books, magazines, paper stock, canvases, paints... you know, bits.
It's actually quite nice to relocate temporarily and I find myself
quite focused out there in the dining room. Progress is being made.

Will share the painting over at my work blog once it is done.
