A nice place to make art

I was finally home during daylight hours to be able to take some photos of the recently-nearly-finished interiors.

Looking At Art

We had a nice couple of visits by Victoria and Marshal Lightman’s Looking At Art group. What a great group of people, always with good questions and lots of compliments!

Student Work

Here’s Paul’s nice painting from observation (along with a photo of what he was looking at — which he didn’t use while he was working on it.)

Dramatic Developments

What a month it has been! We installed insulation, tried to do sheetrock ourselves (before hiring somebody who knew what they were doing), got the walls painted, the electricians installed plugs and switches and turned on the power! The interiors needs some trim work and cleaning, but they’re 95% complete and they look great.

For anyone interested in rentals, we only have one left.

Looking At Art has been our first visitors. They originally scheduled the two nights of visits to see Thedra’s work and the new studios, but hey, now we’ve got a gallery building in our backyard so we asked a few friends to install some work too. We had Stephanie Toppin’s paintings, Tara Conely’s installation, and Philip Durbin’s paintings.
