Today was a great day in the studio! First and foremost, I now have adequate lighting! I am SOOOOO happy! Alex put up the track lighting that I bought a few months ago. Creating a studio is akin to creating a painting.... progress is sometimes slow.
I was so excited to have the lights up that I promptly started a new painting that had been gestating in me for months. I dove into it and had a very nice "beginning" stage set for the painting in just a few hours. I sometimes think this is my favorite stage of a painting. It usually goes quickly and I get a good idea if the composition, values, and pallet are going to work or not. This is the time to re-work any of these elements, before I push it too far. I gave myself a "thumbs up" on this one.
The painting is a scene from my sister's guest room window looking down onto her neighbor's home. It caught my eye when I last visited her, so I snapped a few photos of it, knowing then that I wanted to try to capture it on canvas.
