Ta dah! The view from my new painting spot....at least for the next few months and then we shall see how it goes. In December, I am going to be part of a group show and needed a place to paint larger works, so one morning I decided to go on a hunt for the perfect wee studio space downtown.
I found it in a building on the corner of Sackville and Barrington Street. Above a wine bar, a sex shop and across the street from Starbucks. Ha ha. It is full of light with a north and east exposure. I LOVE it.
The paintings I am working on at the moment are 3' x 4'. A big change for me and such a different way of working. I have to stand back to really see them. Bigger brushes, more paint and more time. Having a dedicated work space is very freeing. I can leave a painting mess, come back to it and just pick up where I left off. When I want a break, I just sit back and watch the city flow beneath me:)
My mascot:) Don't ask me why, I just liked the look of him and up on the wall he went.

How exciting! You might never want to let it go. :D
That is really, really awesome, Shelagh! It looks so bright and welcoming. :) I can't believe a place like that is hiding up above Barrington st!

I've just finished cleaning up my studio and readying it for winter projects. It is so grounding to have a place to go and create and leave a project so you can come back to it with fresh eyes. I used to hate to have to 'put things away'. Have fun in that light and inspiring place!
Holy cow! What a great space. Congratulations.
great spot and seems to me that Deserres is not far away - enjoy!
Above a wine bar, a sex shop and across the street from Starbucks - sounds like the perfect location. haha. I hope the new place serves you well. Have fun!
Way to go Shelagh! It looks like a beautiful space. And I'm looking forward to seeing the larger canvas.
