For friends who have visited, they know I don’t have a great, large, wonderous studio in which to create great artworks.\u00a0 <\/span>Actually, I never have, and its not really necessary to produce good art.\u00a0 <\/span>One of my favorite paintings is this one from around 1981, painted entirely at night in a small motorhome with just a\u00a0 <\/span>dim 1\/4 watt 12v light bulb overhead.<\/p>\n

The short story is, I used to paint in an empty bedroom, until I got married, and shortly thereafter became a nursery for my newborn son.\u00a0 <\/span>Around that time, I sold about $7K of paintings to a local company for their new building.\u00a0 <\/span>That money was enough to turn one of my three car garage stalls into a studio.\u00a0 <\/span>We installed a wall,\u00a0 <\/span>skylight, and other items.\u00a0 <\/span>It eventually turned into a general workroom and storage area, but still my studio.<\/p>\n

I have been cleaning out the studio this week and going through old paintings. \u00a0Many artists periodically purge old paintings, whether finished, abandoned, etc. and I do every once in awhile.\u00a0 <\/span>Artists, even famous ones, will also paint over an old painting. \u00a0 <\/span>I generally don’t like to paint over an old canvas, but most of my small paintings are on canvas board, and lately I just scrape it down, and paint right over it. \u00a0 The old paint can also give a nice texture to what I paint over it. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After sorting thru everything,\u00a0<\/span>I now have over 250 canvas boards, worth probably $2K, to paint over which will last quite awhile! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
