Finally it was together and I was looking at the<br />
finished piece, it would still take another 24<br />
hours to be completely dry but it was done and<br />
ready to hang. Oooh.. hang This was one extremely<br />
heavy painting and I hadn’t given much<br />
thought to how I was going to hang it. I found<br />
some fabulous dry wall hooks on amazon.com<br />
that would hold 200 lb each – perfect! When the<br />
tradesmen arrived for work on Monday morning<br />
they could hang this for me. It took 5 men to<br />
hang this painting but it’s up and in it’s place<br />
and every time I walk in through the front door,<br />
I marvel at the sight of it and think to myself… I<br />
did that and I feel so proud that I achieved this<br />
goal, this enormous 3D painting looks fabulous<br />
and the lighting makes all the difference in the<br />
world.<br />
For years I would transform my dining room<br />
into a studio, pushing the table and chairs to<br />
the side, throwing down drop cloths to cover the<br />
floors and then setting up my portable easel on<br />
wheels and my portable cart that housed my<br />
paint, it would quickly became my work area.<br />
It’s no wonder I would get depressed when we<br />
were having dinner guests. This meant packing<br />
away everything and moving it all into a storage<br />
unit so the room could once again resemble a<br />
place where we could entertain. I’ve lost count<br />
how many times I have done this!<br />
Eleven months of preparation, designing and<br />
planning the remodel of our new apartment will<br />
finally see me in my own dedicated studio…<br />
YIPPIE! I’m still pinching myself! It is a home<br />
studio, with plenty of space (even enough room<br />
for an 8’ x 6’ painting and plenty of natural light<br />
with breathtaking views that stretch across the<br />
city to the mountains that are soon to have<br />
snow capped peaks on them. <strong>No</strong> more packing<br />
away my paints and brushes… I am one very<br />
lucky and very happy artist!<br />
