Well I moved out of the cottage studio today after a pretty terrific two years there. I became kind of attached to the funny little house, the nice neighbors, the breezes blowing through on a summer day. I made a lot of work there and learned how really important it is to have a space away from “normal” life. No phone, no junk mail, no kitchen appliances–hence no cooking! Just two tables, a lot of paint and paper, and me. Carolyn came and we had a terrific week of art-making, friends came and brought things (or made things)
I painted roses on the wall while the roses bloomed outside the door
…everything out but the paint chest
(Stay tuned for cottage studio, chapter 2…)
