Hopefully I will be productive while I'm gone, as you are when you are on the road. You really have it down to (hehe) an art!pedalpowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470754372766025694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690400023329277323.post-69636527334398301032009-06-18T20:31:17.829-04:002009-06-18T20:31:17.829-04:00Many artists do feel that if they do not have a la...Many artists do feel that if they do not have a large dedicated space in which to create, that they cannot make art. Before I built my studio, I had a section of the garage that my husband enclosed and added A/C to for me. It was very small, but I was thankful to have it because it allowed me to set up my supplies and leave them out, not having to clean up a common area of the house. Prior to the garage, I did work in the house and I will admit that that the level of work I was producing was much less than I do now. I agree with Jo, when you make a plan that fits your circumstances and a commitment to make it happen, creating art becomes a snowball effect. For me, I started slow and now I am rolling down that mountain! When you take the time to make art, you will be motivated and you will find ways to work within your limitations to make more art! <br /><br />Give it a try, start with a small canvas on your kitchen table, once you get rolling, you will find ways to reach your tangible goal. <br /><br />On a side note, Sedona is amazingly beautiful and I will upload more photos shortly!!Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785958267715615197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690400023329277323.post-49795871781358795922009-06-18T17:11:07.295-04:002009-06-18T17:11:07.295-04:00Looks like you've got exactly enough room to w...Looks like you've got exactly enough room to work in your RV, and you've packed a nice selection of exactly the right papers -- the orage looks luscious! Hope we'll see a paper painting of one of those striking Painted Desert pictures -- the Painted Desert was painted white the one time I was there.Charlene Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845504349975059383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690400023329277323.post-63747158059865551042009-06-18T12:46:19.011-04:002009-06-18T12:46:19.011-04:00I admire how organized you are!

There is such calm there- go climbing- there is a place off Airport Rd. It'll just blow you away. The quiet and peace is unimaginable.<br />ok-ok- enough-<br />Looking forward to seeing more.<br />Loved the info about Cadillac Ranch!<br /><br />jennysupplies overflowing!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02701676503667687058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690400023329277323.post-33654874271271040912009-06-18T12:31:05.986-04:002009-06-18T12:31:05.986-04:00What a good lesson on making work in a small studi...What a good lesson on making work in a small studio. I think that many would-be artists don't work because they don't have a real studio, whatever that is, but you're proving that you can work anywhere, including your kitchen table even though you'll need to put away your things for every meal, and you can work under all sorts of circumstances, including times when you're packed into the space with 3 other people. We don't need many supplies to make art, but what we do need is a plan that fits our circumstances, a tangible goal, and the commitment to make it happen.Jo Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381636308808299868noreply@blogger.com
