My Old New Studio, My New Old Painting Style

For the last month I setup a studio in the basement of our new house. My mother says I’d be happy in a 6 x 6 room, she was wrong… my space was about 5x5. The first day after I got my studio setup I found out about some space that became available downtown. I had to start painting again before I moved my studio as a good omen for the future. I managed to get a painting done and a start of a second one.

Working in a completely new style tends to take longer and you usually give up something until you master it. For me it’s the deterioration of my drawing. This is due to drawing with a thin paintbrush like some artists draw with a pencil. If I hold my brush more like a spyglass, the drawing should come back.
