What a very tidy person you are!

Okay Mr. ****.. here's my other world..
I inherited this big ole Hoosier from a Family member.. what better place for it to be .. Houses all my Stuff..
Fairly organized on the surface for most of the time .. I refuse to open the doors and Drawers for anyone to see..
My son says when I die he's gonna get rid of that awful paint on the walls..He doesn't know yet I am putting in my will that it has to stay or he gets NUTHIN'..he'll probably say I was not in my right mind.. he wouldn't be too far off the mark.. You can tell I am not afraid of color !!

My computer used to have that colour as the background! I like it! You can see that I have quite orange walls. (That is the correct spelling!)

Carol that hutch is absolutely gorgeous! and makes a lovely work station..and i am kind of partial to certain greens, that is a great green.

Carol, Kay and Steve, love your workspaces! I hesitate to add a photo of mine, since the EPA would probably fine me for it. My creative space is currently in my husband's truck. (It's usually in my car, but the tires are too slick to drive). Really it has all the conveniences any artist would need, heating, air conditioning, sun visor, plenty of space in the back for sketch pads, my big bag, camera, lenses, photo equipment, and the ever handy cup holder.

There's a nice tailgate too for those quick sketches outdoors (en plein air de la redneck) or to stand on to take photos of wildlife. But the best feature is that the truck goes from 0 to 60 mph in 45 seconds, whereas a bear only goes to 0 to 35 mph. Bulls average 25 mph, raccoons around 15 mph. Apparently, the little ding-ding-ding the vehicle makes when you leave the keys in the ignition annoys them too.

Kay the color is suppose to be Turquoise...In most Indian art I found it to be the loveliest so I used it as inspiration .. The Hutch is so nice !! Old but nice.. .. The table part slides out another foot or so and gives me extra room to draw on.. The cabinets house a lot of my books and art supplies .. More than I should ever have in a lifetime.. Each time I open it up I think,, today I will try something new .. I only wish that my today's were longer.. Sadly I have to work in order to fill those cabinets and drawers..

I am still chuckling..you are sooo funny

I'll tell my son I am not the only one that thinks the color is perfect.. truth be known .. That child is color blind .. !!

Excellent Idea !!!.. May have to go on a scavenger hunt to see if I can find me a Redneck Studio.. !!!
I am so Jealous !!

LMAO!

Carol I love that color too! It's so pretty turquoise is one of my favourite colours

is organization a trait of the artistic world? if so..im lacking..lol..my bits and pieces of my creative corner are reproducing and spreading around the house

nice corner Kat, we have the same table, and that picture is very nice too

Thank you Kay, it was confiscated from my daughters college days..and the picture..I have put it up because it is frustrating me. Why are you moving yours outdoors?

Oh cool, ur creativity corners are just great and i realize that creativity is quite evolving, ideas might hit you at any point....

oooh sweety..OUTDOORS..I love it..I have been TRAPPED in my house for months..SNOW, SNOW SNOW, THEN ICE AND MORE SNOW...ACK!! I have purchased a 14x16 Screen house and I am moving my setup outside to draw..I want outdoors so bad I am like my dogs, prancing at the door to get out..
Wish I had lots of money to build me a glass room.

Glass room would be awsome ....my space I will try to add a pic later is small ..I have little room ..at the far end of my desk is a small refrigerator for my husband ...he likes to store his pop and such in there away from the kids ...so i always hear the hummm of the motor .

Ncgirl ...do you really draw from hubbies truck or are you kidding ?

laughing.. Kay the mosquitos would take everything away if I tried that here..but..a glass room..now that is an idea!

Kim I agree, that is a beautiful avatar, you have the most lovely eyes and a nice smile..

Ncgirl ...do you really draw from hubbies truck or are you kidding ?


I really do. It's a rolling studio born from necessity - at home something is always going on, and it's hard to find quiet time, even on weekends. On the other hand, at work, I'm able to walk out to the truck say on lunch or coffee break and spend a few quiet minutes drawing. Most of the year, I'm able to keep my camera equipment in it too (except for summer time, way too hot) so if I see a great photo while driving around, I can quickly grab my camera and (sometimes) get a good shot. We're in the process of building a studio, but work on it has slowed to a crawl after Bill's accident - when it gets done, I'll have some great space!

Thank you Kay that is sweet to say ...I never liked my eyes lol big and wide set lol .

Ncgirl I think that is awsome ...of course I would not be able to do that I drive a car and its packed with kids or friends of my kids most of the time ...but that is very cool .. I saw the studio in progress and that will be awsome when that is done .

Ok I just found something out .. I was eating a low fat Mesquite barbecue chips...and I told my husband they were good .. he informed me that the flavor comes from a tree called the Mesquite ...I was kinda grossed out by that ...and swore to not eat them again ( I do not eat trees) then he informed me that Maple surup comes from a maple tree ...that was something I did not know .. he ask me how i got this far in life without knowing you get maple surup from a maple tree ...I said I have no clue how he was brought up by my mom bought it at the supermarket ....I must have no common sence lol please tell me this is news to others out there ?? Im feeling alone on this lol

Nope. It's just you. Everybody else knew that. I suppose you think these are made with chocolate?

well the new draw challenge is all about making surup ..and the pictures are amazing .. i looked it up on my computer and know I understand the process

the gummi bears with chocolate over them .. I would assume if it states its milk chocolate ..well its milk chocolate .

I think you're just trying to avoid showing us your bits!

LMAO steve omg...you make me laugh out loud..

I think you may be right though

Kim, the process of making syrup is very long drawn out and hard process, its a big thing up here, in fact way up north they have like a sap pipeline in the woods with hoses and what not going from tree to tree to tree to a catchall place..It takes so much sap and so much work to make just a little tiny bit of syrup and that is why some ppl may find syrup expensive, but when the process is understood they gladly pay the price for a small bit..and it is delicious.

Kind of like Alaskan King Crab, one of my fav seafoods, i used to fuss about the price, but after watching deadliest catch and what those men go thru to get that to my table I am very happy to pay the money for it..Of course that is just a treat once in awhile..

Steve you are so funny ...I will show you my bits alright lol

I watch that show as well as surviver man ...its crazy what they go through ...some of those men die ...its nuts .

You tease!

Kat & Kay: Great table! Where did you get it? I love the size and it looks angled which is perfect for drawing.

My workspace also doubles as my computer desk. I am very thankful that I have a laptop that is easy to move. I definitely need to find a new drawing desk/table that allows for good lighting.

Kay - is that a macbook pro I spy? Great choice, I love mine!

waw so cool
hhh

waw so cool
hhh

hi sarah, that table was given to me for a gift from hubby and he orders online, so there is no telling where he got that..I also have a small like hospital table on wheels to pull up to the couch or bed to set the laptop on.but no she is not a mac, she is a dell pc and her name is Ruby..so far she has been a super girl.

Hmm... I will have to look for a table like that. I have been googling but so far haven't found what I am looking for. My table is flat and I really need an angled one. Thank you for the tip on ordering online!

Why not try looking for an old draughtsmans board? You can pick these up pretty cheaply these days! Lots of architects have gone completey digital and sell off their old draughting tables! Or look on eBay. Or your local newspaper small adds.

A drafting table is a great idea Steve! I did a quick google search and even found a portable one that would be perfect for me. It is sturdy enough to draw on but provide an angled surface. I can also fold it up and put it under my bed when I want to use my computer. Thank you!

I couldn't resist showing you my glass room! I love being out there with the windows open, the breeze blowing and the geese flying overhead! Unfortunately it isn't heated so when it is winter, and -40 celsius, I have to move indoors , when that happens, my husband and I share his space! Cozy!

Nice and your drawings are pretty good too. You'd have to be in your snow suit to draw lol I'm from Canada too so I know how cold it gets.

Here is my space at the moment,

My studio in Lagos, lovely big windows with lots of light, the view unfortunately is not that great as i live in a high security compound so lots of barbed wire and high walls. I have a studio in Johannesburg that overlooks the garden and pool area and one on my farm in Mpumalanga with views of the African bush.

Regards Wayneo

Here is where I do most of my work and all my bits are in the lego box.

When I'm not here I use an A3 size drawing board.

my bits just took up residence in the summer studio..my screen tent..right along with Kay ..lol

I don't have anything to show. All I have are few graphite pencils, couple of ink-pens and one set of aquarelles. That's all. No my own corner and any decent art supplies. When I need something more, I borrow from my kids.

ISNT IT AWESOME KAT? I love it, a little too shady in the morning but round 10ish things start to get good daylight

and armed with a new mosquito repellent lamp ..lol..yes the light is incredible and the breezes stir creativity Kay..sipsik your talent is your bits..its amazing with whatever you use at the moment it inspires

I have to arm myself with a squirt bottle, those kittens of mine, follow me in and start tearing the place up, so now, a few squirts and they take off and leave me alone..lol

today i have been taking perspective lessons, so very very darn hard for me, WHY OH WHY MUST I BE SO THICK..it looks perfectly easy, but alas study on it for so long, have had much very good help and still am too thick..it frustrates me so..I think I get it, I watch and understand, then when I do it, it just isnt right..*SIGH*...back to my study disc

Pop round for a cup of tea and I'll show you all you need to know.

god i wish i could, i know no one that picks up a pencil, not even to write with..

That's the reason I don't play much guitar anymore! Moved here 9 years ago, and never met another musician! It can get hard when you play with yourself...
