Another studio shot, this time showing me in action at my easel. My studio is my pride and joy. I had it built about 10 years ago in the back yard of our house. At the time, both my kids still lived at home, and I had no space to work. My intention was to start my portrait business and teach art as well. My studio has a small ensuite (shower and toilet). The shower is mainly used for storage these days.
Nice story, Karin. It is so special to have a space of your own!
Thank you, Marriet ! I do feel very blessed to have my own studio. It was a dream come true for me. It also can double as a guest room for visitors and a small classroom, of course, where I teach classes and workshops.
Oh Karin…hwo wonderful to see you at work on a famous cat!!!. WOW…are most of your painting that large? How do you scan them to post on RB???
Thank you, Sally. Didn’t know this cat was famous. Actually, many of my paintings are small, some are large. I work in both watercolour and Acrylics, and in various sizes. My first abstract cat was only the size of a greeting card, but turned out to be my most popular and often faved on Deviantart. I decided to do it large in acrylics. It sold very soon after I finished it, to a man who bought it as a birthday present for his girlfriend who loved cats.
Love seeing you at work in your studio, Karin, the painting looks great!!!!
Thanks for the lovely comment, dear Freda. Funny how I feel like a “real” artist when I work on my big easel.( I now have a better Malstick, made for me by my husband. ) It just feels so good to be standing up while painting. This is actually from two years ago. The painting is long gone, sold within a month of finishing it. Wish they were all that quick to walk out the door. : )
Thank you, Liz ! I think it’s great to see artists in their studio. It puts things into context to see the work at the easel, and see how big it is. : )
What a great studio. And what great art you have Karin, and they look so impressive as large pieces. You have a great eye for colour. Love all your portfolio work. Keep up the great work. Excellent! Cheers, Orla
Thank you for such a lovely comment, Orla! You are very kind – thank you for letting me know you like my artwork. : )
An amazing shot of the artist at work! Your studio sounds fabulous Karin. Mine is an absolute shemozzle at the moment as I have been re-painting the walls! It is going to be sooooo good when it’s all finished. Nearly there now! (It is an old Victorian school room so I have two rooms and 12ft high ceilings)! I have achey bits all over from going up and down the ladder!!!! Fell off the ladder a couple of days ago and landed on my back on the floor – looking up at the paint pot wobbling on top of the ladder, and thinking “OH NO”! But thankfully it didn’t fall! I would have looked like Kermit the Frog as the paint around the windows is a sludgy green colour! Will post some photos when it’s all finished.
Thank you, Lynda ! I love your wonderful stories. I remember having a look at the photos of your studio, and reading about your cocky, and you thought was a boy, until he laid an egg. So funny! Now I hope I am remembering correctly, or I’m going to feel pretty silly. I can just picture the scenario, and very glad for you the paint can didn’t fall down. What a relief. Hope you did not injure yourself. Looking forward to seeing your newly painted studio.
