My Studio
I just named my studio...  Been sitting here, wanting to name it something, and so I looked up words about calmness and relaxation and came up with "Simply Serene". So that is what I am naming it. So glad my husband let me have it. It use to be his catch all storage shed, which had 3 workbenches around the edges and sawdust everywhere, but then he quit using all of that and decided to just start storing stuff in there. I then wanted to give dog grooming a try...I mean, I do our 3 dogs and they do fine...found out not all dogs are that mellow. LOL Decided against that and that was when I decided to use it as my studio. It is so calm and peaceful out there, with the window open and the waterfall sound coming from our 100 gal. pond. Anyway, I wanted to share this with my new found friends.  Here is a picture of it. I do hope to try and paint this, someday. May go ahead and give it a go, just to see, and then I will know what to improve on the next time I try and paint it.
The inside of it, well, part of it anyway. My new chair and table where I paint. This picture makes it look messy out there. LOL And it really isn't...I know where everything is. hahaha

Re: My Studio
 Lisa. It is a wonderful place for you to paint in. The sound of the water outside your window is an added bonus as well as a visual one.
Well done!!!

Re: My Studio
Wow, you are very fortunate to have a nice place to paint. Looking forward to seeing your painting of it.
That might be a good thread, (although it has probably been done before), to have folks post photos of their studios. I do have my own room, with computers, books, lots of musical instruments and a table that serves as my studio. My daughter even bought me a "man cave" sign to go on the door, although I understand such signs are "out of fashion" now. But I'll leave it up since she bought it.

WOw....I'm SO jealous! Lisa what a perfect spot in which to paint; and yes the sink is a BONUS! Good for you taking over this spot. Love your little 'Simply Serene' studio. Thanks for sharing. Love your pond too. Your set up on the inside is great.

Re: My Studio
Lisa, you are so fortunate. My space is a corner in the basement with no windows. Some day!

Re: My Studio
Thank you!! I love being out there. I either have it totally quiet, and right now, with it being Spring, birds are out in full tilt and they chirp and sing all day. Or sometimes I put in my iPod and play my instrumental music...I love all sorts of that. Very relaxing. I found out how relaxing it was, when I was trying dog grooming...well, the space was relaxing, wrestling with dogs wasn't. LOL I agree this would be a neat thread, where everyone can post where they create. I use to try and do crafts on our dining room table, but for almost every meal, I had to clean it up. Drove me nuts, and that was when I sort of left crafting anything, which led to not even sketching. Just forgot about it all. It wasn't until this year that I remembered what I use to do and how I missed it. I think I am either going to make a sign, or get one with the name on it and hang it up over the door or beside the door. Right now, I paint with the door all the way open, when it is nice out. It is extra wide so it makes it feel like I am outside. Really loving this space.
