It so fun to see where my art ends up after it is sent off, especially when it ends up in a lovely space amongst such good company.

(Though what I’d really, really like are high ceilings with huge skylights, sigh)

I am painting most of the space white except for the interiors of two closets that are spaced just as in the first image.  The interiors are going to get a few coats of my very favorite paint, Farrow and Ball ‘off black‘.  The opposite wall in my studio I am also painting with ‘off black’.  I am also planning on white/grey floors and a long wood work surface in addition to the work table I already have.   So hopefully in a few months time I will have a much more efficient work space that is a bit softer on the eyes!
