Out with the Old, in with the New

After the December Open House (thank you to all who came!) , the studio has been undergoing some re-arranging as paintings are shipped out to make space for new endeavors. I've created a home (finally!) for encaustic painting, so I don't have to cart everything out of the closet anymore, and moved my ancient, (c.1911) oak drafting board into the studio so I will have a place to draw, something I am planning to do a lot more of this year. This is one of those huge, four-square, 36 x 60" tables that hinges at the front so it can be tilted up, with a tool drawer and a paper drawer. I bought it for $50 with money I earned painting, and it has been with me since high school, everyplace I've ever lived. David put it up on casters for me (everything in the studio must roll!) and now I feel truly at home.

To make room for all this, twelve Tuscany paintings have been moved to the Green Gallery at Salon 2000 in Milford, two encaustics are in the NHIA Alumni exhibit at the Beacon Building in Manchester, and four landscapes are at Art 3 Gallery in Manchester. I also placed a painting in the Member's show at Sharon Arts Center, and will shortly bring 3-4 new paintings to the juried gallery.
I love the look of bare white walls.....
