I think many artists feel like you and your friend; having a studio that is separate from the home--whether across town or across the lawn, is desireable.<BR/><BR/>Sorry you lost that great space. Hope you've been able to find an equivalent.Don Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497657029761169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-12129666105803658272008-07-31T12:09:00.000-07:002008-07-31T12:09:00.000-07:00My friend's husband, who is handy to say the least...My friend's husband, who is handy to say the least, built her a little shed studio about 30x30 just steps away from the house. They live on a wooded lot with a pool and gardens and a pretty yard. She's a mosaic and assemblage artist and has done some beautifully designed stone medallion work outside leading to the path to the house. She feels like she's a million miles away there and she had had an outside space in an old factory building which we collectively lost last summer, but could really never get there because her kids needed her. So, for her, it's the best of both worlds. I'm going to find the photo of it and post it on my alternative blog. <BR/>Last summer I posted the woes of losing my studio of 13 years to a 'condo' project. We had had fabulous yearly Open Studios events which were well attended. At the end there were more than 100 artists of all stripes in the building. It was a magical place. <BR/>Your paintings rock!Mary Sheehan Winnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739304038978908921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-78144230404376439532008-07-26T22:06:00.000-07:002008-07-26T22:06:00.000-07:00Thanks Mike for the link.
