The simplest things can really make me happy. The building where I paint is developing into a great studio space with the help of my dear hubby. Yesterday he installed some pegboard so there is more space for hanging paintings in progress, AND he cleared out a few more shelves so the mural paints can be put away instead of stacked on the floor. Wow!

You may notice there is a bridge theme; currently all three of Tulare County’s beautiful bridges are in progress in my studio. (I do love those bridges!

You can see that there are quite a few new ones in progress. Sometimes I just draw them on with a paintbrush first; The one on the righthand easel is an example of that. Then I begin painting from front to back as you can see by the finished sky here. Other times I just start painting and do the entire piece in one day.  The lower painting on the bottom pegboard photo (phew, did you follow that??) is an example of an all-in-one painting started and finished today. This is called Long Way There III; I have painted it 3 times before, but one didn’t get titled (I hope).
