My Studio

 This is my studio, the Caboose.  It's my grandmother's old mobile home (built around 1981), the main portion of which is the storage area for finished paintings.
 This is the "upstairs," where the paintings are kept.  These are just some of the paintings I've done over the past 22 years.
 This is the "downstairs," the working portion of the studio.  It's a little roomed-in porch that my grandparents added on to the back of the trailer.  This picture is of my paint station, a wheeled tray I built.  I paint with acrylics and keep my keep my paints in old artichoke and pimiento jars.







 The orange door leads to the upstairs.  
 This area is also where I work out every day.  I run the laptop through my stereo and listen to stuff while I paint.
 The sink is fed by a garden hose running through the wall attached to the main house across the yard.  That's my guitar and amp on those blue risers.
And this is where I paint.  My easel is a shelf I can raise and lower on brackets screwed into the wall.  I've been painting in this space for over 22 years and it's become very homey for me.
