Annie Jefferson is all over my studio. Could not be surrounded by a nicer lady. I feel like I know her so well after painting her so many times.

Here are 2 of my favorites. There will be more to follow I am sure.

A surprise for Carolyn’s fiance, Tom! Can’t wait to see his face when he gets this painting of Daisy!

Quietly Whittling…compare the finished product to the in progress painting One will notice the intricacy of the hands that are carving a bear out of wood.

Christy in Repose

This was actually a color study of Christy. However, I liked the way the painting turned out so I had it framed! After having painted her many times it appears as if I have finally captured her persona. She is an excellent model and can hold a pose longer than most.

Almost Ready to Move In!

From This

All this “mess” had to be cleared out of the space….

This alcove was designed to hold shelving for paper and canvases.

Beautiful track lighting and a sink to clean up! Can’t wait to move in.

During the Process

Framing the walls helps me see the room!

: Drywall is looking good!

And the sink goes in the corner...

The studio is coming along faster than I thought would be possible. All of this has taken place in just three days! Framing, remove window …insert French doors for light, and now the drywall!

Hard to believe this is the same space that once held so much “junk” and now is becoming a studio!

So this is where I will be painting soon. And just look at all that light coming in where that small window used to be! The guys doing the work are so pleasant and they really work at lightning speed!!! Drywall has 2 more days then the finishing touches start falling into place!!!
