My painting corner

I thought I'd show you how I sometimes work from the computer.  It works really well actually... it is convenient to have the computer right there so I can listen to music or a sermon, check my email and also zoom in on the photo I'm working from.  I have seen other artists that have a computer screen mounted to their easel which would be nice, but this works just as well. I have a very small space to work in, but it's all I need for right now.  The only problem is that I sometimes forget to step back from my little corner.  I need to work on that.

Beautiful Studio

Diane McGregor's studio

P Farrell Artblog

One thing I love is a beautiful art studio.  I stumbled upon a fun blog that reveals the studios of artists all over the country.  This studio I found exceptionally beautiful.  It is so neat and tidy and bright and to top it all off it's in one of my favorite places: Santa Fe.... sigh....

I highly recommend checking out this blog if you like to check out other artist's spaces!  It's fun to get ideas and be inspired by other hardworking artists!

My Studio

My Studio

Here is a picture of my painting spot.  It is kind of a tight squeeze, but it works for now.  I am constantly trying to find ways to make it more efficient and tidy.  I think it looks better than it ever has though so I need to take advantage of that and get a lot of work done!  Looking at this picture makes me want to go work on my inspiration board.  It has looked the same for quite some time now!  My husband nicely made that for me for Christmas last year and I love it!  I also see in this photo that my palette needs some cleaning!  Time to get to work...

Art Studio Inspiration

I am always wanting my art studio to be more functional, beautiful and inspirational. Organizing my studio is forever on my to-do list. Here are a couple photos to inspire me to work on it.
