A recent adventure led to a way for you to experience a 360 degree 3 dimensional view of me and my studio. You can mouse side-to-side, up and down and see it all. It takes a little while to load, depending on your connection.

No preview, I am sad to say, but I think you will enjoy it. The paintings sitting around on easels are drying. You know, it takes a year for an oil painting to dry thoroughly and they must be exposed to the air to dry. The oil reacts with the oxygen in the air, creating a tough polymer, that expands as the reaction progresses. Most of these were finished in the last few months and a few were recently repaired after some rough handling took off a tiny patch of paint on several works.
Repairs are so much easier if you use a set palette for all the work. It is much easier to match the patch when you know what pigments went into it.
I just wish that the new lights that had been installed the following week had been in place when the Virtual Reality Photos had been taken. I have so much more light now.
I have 2 other paintings in progress, so I have a lot of paint to watch drying. I use this time to scrutinize my compositions for little itchy places. If it feels like it needs scratched, I know that there is something bothering me about one or more of the painters' tools used in creating composition. Color, value, edges and design are the most frequent culprits. So I sit with the newbie and wait for it to tell me what it needs or ask someone to look at it and tell me what bothers them. Fresh eyes see so clearly.
