Procrastinate Tomorrow

I saw that motto recently, it doesn't describe me at all, I just like it.  Actually, I'm a doer.  I make lists & check them off.  Today I checked off two new paintings and started another.  I ordered new business cards, became a member of the Pencil Art Society and started painting my dining room table black (it's dark cherry).

This is my dining room/studio.  I was using a drafting table, but when I started getting shoulder pain, I switched to my dining room table so I could draw on a flat surface.  That's the buffet, converted into a computer desk.  And yes, those are golf clubs, an important part of my studio.  The painting on the wall was done by my husband's uncle, by the way.

My two new cityscape paintings are for sale here and here.

"Restaurant On Main" 5" x 7" $130 (unframed)

"Little Hills" 11" x 14" $300 (unframed)

 So, are you a doer or a procrastinator?

My New Art Studio

I'm exhausted.  My husband & I had two of our grandkids stay this past weekend while their parents went out of town.  What a whirlwind!  So I'm having a quiet (ahhhh, no commotion, just silence) day.  Last week, before the grandkids came, I painted my dining room white.  It was a pale yellow, but I got tired of it.  So, while I was paintng, a thought occurred.  This room has such great light - I rarely use it - this would make a wonderful art studio!  I had all of my art stuff in a spare bedroom, an office/studio type set-up.  But I actually thought I'd love to be in this room every day since the bedroom is small & has a tiny window.  Here's the dining room before:

Here's my new studio:

I love it!  I'm still getting organized.  I'm going to take down the chandelier - I keep bumping my head on it since there's no dining room table!  The large painting was done by my husband's uncle, an artist.  Maybe this is a bit unconventional, but I think I'll be glad to get lots of use out of this room.  Here's what I'm working on right now, one of my new landscapes:

Have you repurposed a room?
