A(n art) Room of One's Own...

Long, long ago... (last August, to be exact) I posted about redoing what was then my living room, in order to turn it into an art/office space. The room was more parlour than living room and was rarely ever used. The color of the walls was a dark burgundy... not the kind of space that would be conducive to doing detailed artwork.



With no overhead lighting and only one window, this space would need a serious overhaul. This has been a challeging and very, very busy fall and winter. I have had many commissions, health issues, and a lot of things going on with my children and their activities. But, finally last week I got an early birthday present.

I am moving from this space in the corner of my dining room...



...and with a generous helping of "Provence Cream"



and a little help from this...



...I now have this



and tomorrow I will celebrate by enjoying doing my artwork in a room of my very own!



Happy birthday to me!! :)
