Dream studio details...

[October Reader]

I once came across an artist's studio that had an over-sized table made out of waist height large format filing cabinets which can come in very handy for those who have lots of paper goods that need to be properly stored away and protected. The large table top had countless uses for all sorts of needs..

Steven, no nudes!



You are such an eloquent hoot!

Jean here is the little baby last month, she turns 5 months this next week and is twice the size of the picture it seems. Remember the Boston is 18 lbs.

Everyone one else thanks for the input so far!

Beth,

I especially like the window and the floor.

That Studio has room for many students or if the model brings relatives and friends that won

You know, Steven, I don't think I've ever seen a depiction of an artist painting a nude angel. Is it religous/anti-religious/neo-religious/religious parody? Or did you just filch one of the stations of the cross that I don't know about?

I'd think artificial day-lighting would give you so much freedom in terms of scheduling your work around your life.

What is Marvin's on the arm system?

[Marvin Mattelson]

I think Beth is referring to the wall mounted boom arm assembly which holds my light fixture, not my arm, per say. To see a picture you can refer to post #19 on http://forum.portraitartist.com/show...0&page=2&pp=10

Thanks very much Marvin for the link! Have to study that thread very closely as a reference guide on a mini system I'm trying to put together.

For a minute I started to visualize you walking around your studio with tentacles spreading out of your arms No, not really.

Beth thanks for bringing up the lighting subject

Ah, would that it were. How that would lubricate the machinery of apologetics and evangelization.

But, no, the image is but one of the 20 4"x4" ceramic tiles that make up the structure called "Wimberley Tales." All twenty tiles run just over $1000. When I purchased my "The Artist" at Tree's Place (gallery) on Cape Cod only about three years ago, I paid about $35, as I recall. They are now individually priced at about $55. They have a magnetic backing.

There are numerous figures and scenes depicted -- The Dentist, The Doctor, The Lovers, The Harlot (my favorite, of course). I'm surprised not to be able to find a good image of the entire set online, but this will have to do -- it's a tiny image that I've greatly enlarged, hence the blurriness. But you can see the Artist in the uppermost room on the right:
