Studio is Finally Organized







Whew, it took a while to get my downstairs studio organized.  I wrote about it back in October here.  After painting in pastels, then switching to oils, there were so many art supplies, etc. accumulated, that some serious reorganization was in order.  I can finally put my hands on any painting or any thing at any time.  The only thing out of place is the Scrabble game on the wicker bench.  I need to know where to find that at any time too!




I ordered another painting trolley.  The painting at the far right isn't mine.  It's a collaborative effort of different people who were over at the house one night.  They all thought it would be fun to try painting and this is the result.

Now that I feel organized, I can finally concentrate on the important stuff.  Painting!

P.S.  The Space Rover trolly can be found at ASW Express.

As soon as inspiration overcomes guilt, I'll take on a corner... 8 )
Hey, maybe a painting trolley will get stuff off of the floor. What a concept! Where do you get them?

Looks wonderful Janelle, you will be keen to get working now there is such a great feeling of tidiness and harmony. I am also interested to know more about the trolley it looks a great way to get a good amount of canvases into storage.

Hi Kathleen, I threw out tons of old materials, and donated some others to an art league. It felt good!

Hi Betsy, I know you're a very organized person, so you inspired me to toss when I read about de-cluttering in one of your posts:)

Hi Pam, Sorry, I'm too worn out!

Hi Judith, Thanks you!

Hi Maggie, I think that glow is from the incandescent lamps and lack of sunlight in the basement:)

Hi Brad, Those racks finally got my paintings off the floor!

Hi Sam, You ask the best questions. Will you be my editor?

Hi Caroline, I bought the trolleys at ASW Express. I'm lucky my husband put them together, as they were a pain.

Hi Doug, Aw, thank you.

Hi Diane, Yes it is, whew!

Hi Ricardo, Yes, I do like poetry so I will follow your blog. Thank you.

Hi Tim, Thanks!

Hi Betsy, Thank you and I hope your Mother's Day was a beautiful one!
