Studio Nesting #4
This is a great idea...okay, not my great idea...but a great idea worth sharing. As I mentioned before, I have many painting sitting on the floor against a wall waiting to be purchased and find a new home. Meanwhile my home studio/living space looks like I just moved in! I have to get them up off the floor, where if nothing else, they'll get scuffed from vacuuming !
My dear friend and artist, Carole Mayne, built shelving for her paintings on her studio wall. I love that I can see all her new works whenever I'm there...and with shelves it removes the mess of hanging each painting with another hole in the wall.
So I put her good idea to use on my one and only big wall in my studio. At first it was a little overwhelming for me...and my "zen like" guy...but now we're both liking it. It keeps me inspired and makes it easy to find paintings when I need them.
As for my friend Carole...she is an amazing painter of everything under the sun ! She has an Etsy shop too, with paintings of birds that she paints from wonderful photographs her husband Chris takes...he's an avian photographer among many other things.

A week from today, my guy and I are taking off on a trip to France & Spain !
I'll do my best to send a few posts, or at least photos from there, and will try to set up a few to post while I'm gone.
We're both pretty excited and can't wait to take it all in !
Don't forget us while in Paris ... with your new I-Pad we should be hearing from you! I am planning where painting panels might go in my house after seeing your blog. Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteFrance & Spain! I'm green with envy. Have a great time. Say "bonjour!" to my old home Paris (I lived there in the mid-1990s).
