Oh Ruth flatters me with saying I helped.... LOL

I feel a little like little girl Katie Couric when she said, "It's shake and bake and I helped."

Seriously: The article is really good!

Thanks for the article, Ruth. I had never thought of using a box like that before. I really like the lighting control it gives - plus it would isolate the set-up from the distracting clutter in a person's painting room. I'll have to try that!

Ruth, this is way cool stuff! This is the first time I've seen the concept of "cutting your own windows" in action - can't wait to try it!

Dear Ruth,

I just read your still life box article and just want to say thanks! Since moving my painting studio, I don't have a spot with a good backdrop for still life work....but I do have a workbench where I could set up a box and provide myself with a backdrop space. This will be very helpful to me!

Best wishes,
Jamie
