New Studio
 

I just secured this old church for a studio. It will require some work inside but it should work out nicely. I've been wanting to do some very large pieces and this will certainly allow for that. I'll post the new shots of the place as it progresses. It rather makes me nervous to be honest.

The main room has a sloped (stage) floor which will be one of the first things to address. There have been some new upgrades recently which help.-Tim

Tim--

FAN-TASTIC.

Know you'll have a great time there!

Tim, wow, I dream about finding that sort of space/sanctuary. Keep us posted on what you end up doing on the interior.

Before
 

I'm shooting "before" pictures and will post these next to the "after" pictures. Lincoln called the Whitehouse a shop, so I figure a studio can be a shop. This place is too big to make perfect. It will always look worked in I'm sure. It's got central air and new bathrooms (a church was meeting there until recently)


I'm also already looking forward to making 2 or 3 large oils and want to get on them quickly.

Anybody want to buy 32 large oak pews? Just kidding.

WOW! A church! WOW!

Tim, you need a new shiny Mahogony Barclay easel to pray at each day!

That is going to be a cool studio for sure. :)

Easel
 

Michael, I am coveting my neighbor's easel. I must not do this in church. I really want one and his taboret project is of interest too. That easel is something to work toward. If I buy one then what would I dream about?

Tim, with such an insprational setting you need a congregation. Let us know when we can all come and get inspried.

This looks like a fun project and I can't wait to see the "after" photos. "Wow" is right, you hit the jackpot!

WOW
 

You may have some angelic guidance! Lucky you!
How did you get a church? Looks great!

Boys
 

Linda, a friend had it. We had just told one of our sons about it, when the other walked in and overheard the first one talking about it-he only heard;"...we have a church" the second asked (very puzzled) "we have a church?". He didn't know we were even looking I guess.

Unique
 

Tim,

I can imagine your son's surprise!
You'll have a pretty unique place to paint, and I'm sure plenty of divine inspiration. It just looks really neat. I'd love to see more. Where is it?
