On days like these, I like to snuggle, nap, break habits and reconfigure. I spent the whole day in my re-arranged studio/workspace and beside a roaring fire. After prepping my space and thinking about last week’s mixed media class, I did three “Rose, where’d you get that Red?” paintings. When you have everything set up, it’s so easy to take an hour or two to be creative. Hope I haven’t bored you too much with this room, but it sure is changing my life.
My instructor is pushing me outside of my box, and we are experimenting with the cursive and familiar nature of text married to a powerful colour. They sure have brightened up the studio space! I wish I could take better pictures of my art…I know it’s the lighting…any suggestions?

Your new chairs are at that table before the fire!! Very cozy and inviting :-)
I found "Rose..." #2 to be very visseral, evoking a sense of power and, to some extent, mayhem in me. Wonderful work, Michelle!!
Xmas shopping??? I'm avoiding it!

I think it's great that you have this place set up that you can escape to whenever you need to. My young children don't allow for a space like this yet and it makes it so hard to paint and have a creative space.. so I am thrilled for you..
loving this red series - it's got me all fired up.
I am no photographer, but I try to take decent pictures. I am not sure when you are shooting but time of day is important. I find the best time is with the early morning sun. Colours sing at that hour..
Hope you hare having a fab day..
