artstudiokm: Come visit my Atelier

s t u d i o

I took french in college and adore the french language. When I visited Paris, I instantly felt right at home. My only complaint was the people weren't so friendly. But maybe it has changed since I was there over 15 years ago. Wow, that makes me sound old.

Anyway, I was in my studio today and felt inspired by my space, which is kind the point, you are all thinking... But, it's true. I've created a little space where I can come create or read if I want. I like to keep my studio dedicated just to creating and relaxing things. No, bill paying or such things like this. Just lovely things...

I love cactus... so sculptural.

They always seem to inspire me.

So... I had to have one for my desk.

Hammered a few holes in the wall to display art in progress...

Helps me to imagine it in a space and also step back to evaluate the piece...

Writing on the wall...

succulents!! I adore plants!

I like to hang inspiring pictures but also keep it to a minimum, or else I can feel overwhelmed by color, shapes and designs... This might sound weird but as I've gotten older, I appreciate a more simple minimal look. This is just what works for me...

I know plenty of artist's who love art pinned up, papers, magazines, sculptures and things everywhere. I love visiting these types of homes and studio's because they are so inspiring ...

Antique basket, actually I was told it was used as a locker basket. I like to put magazines in it, instead of old stinky sport clothes.

Found a stump around the property the other day and painted it white. I hope to attach wheels to the bottom so I can roll it wherever I want in the studio. Anyway, I use it for resting my feet on or resting magazines or maybe a cup of tea.
