My Home Art Studio

Many are asking for pics of my home art studio - where my creativity happens. 

I will share!

Here is the hallway leading to my art studio (room) and as you can see it is my gallery wall!  But, truthfully - my art is hanging all over the house!  


In my opinion (mine only) a true artist will paint anywhere and on anything!  Yes, I did paint this ivy plant on the wall - well, stenciled it way back in the day when I was first getting interested in painting.  It will lead you into my studio.


Entering into my studio.  I do hang my work everywhere!  Please take note in the lower left corner of this photo!  Yes, my kitty Mozart spends a good part of his day in here with me while I work. 


Work table - of course - I picked up and cleaned up the best I could before taking a photo.  Usually, although I am a very neat working artist.  The small easel that you see there on my work table is from Daley Rowney and I use it for my watercolors.  Main reason is that the flat part (where you put your paper) sits on a ball that you can manipulate to create water movement in your art work.  


Another shot - man - I just love my space! The book shelf holds and keeps organized many of my supplies.  I like order! Of course, the drawers are full and the botton cabinets are full of more art books, videos and supplies!


DVD player only - no TV - sometimes I like to watch instructional art videos or just a video about art.  Or maybe just a romantic comedy to help lighten things up since I seem to get really intense at times. Oh and yes, those are a few of my counted cross stitches I did way way back in the day!  Funny!


This is my easel that I use to do my pastel work.  I am trying to figure out how to put wheels on it so I can move it around the room!  I can keep most of my pastels in the drawer and the lip catches most of the dust from the pastels.  I pull up the blind and I have more light than I need.  


Here are my books shelves that hold art books, hand made sketch books, store bought sketch books, and many other books that give me inspiration! Also I keep my portfolios here, too!


I will hang my art anywhere! And I do use this door as an "idea" area . . . .


More of the above!  


This little rolling table holds all my watercolor and acrylic supplies.  Plus, oh yeah, don't miss more of my wall hangings!


THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

Graphite Pencil with a Watercolor Wash

I like to sketch.  Actually that is a lie.  I love to sketch.  I started out with a pencil learning to draw, drawing in the negative space first to get your actual picture, than adding to or taking away from it to make the sketch the way you wanted it.  Then I started with watercolors.  Wow, how I loved those watercolors but they are so unforgiving.  So if you make a mistake - consider it a part of the painting and just work it in somehow.  Unlike acrylics, oils, prisma or pastel pencils there is no painting over to correct an error.  So I learned to love my mistakes with watercolors  . . . and so here I am.  Today.  Loving sketching and watercolors!

Fall Leaves (After Georgia O'Keeffe).  Georgia O'Keeffe's unique artistic vision made her one of the great American oil painters of the twentieth century.  The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico, holds the premier collection of her work.  This is where I fell in love with her work!

Plants are naturally intriguing.  Without them we humans couldn't exist.  They produce the oxygen we need to support our life force.   They feed us and they heal us, and often they just plain please us! They have been an inspiration for such wonderful music as Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier and for literature like The Lady of Camelia by Alexandre Dumas.  Plants have formed gardens both great and small, and many plants have been giving charming popular names, such as the Pansy!

In Texas we just love our longhorns!  Numerous schools throughout Texas use the longhorn as their school mascot, including the University of Texas.  The silhouette also evokes the frontier spirit of the Old West.  Southwestern decor often uses cattle horns and skulls.
