My wife and I live in a reasonably large (but run down) rented three bedroom detached property with a relatively big garden. We took it in 1987 as I needed plenty of space for my studio and books. Since then I have tried all of the bedrooms for my studio but for the last three years I have had a very large east facing room with space for a large collection of books plus three easels and two desks. However as my wife never really liked our bedroom I have moved the whole first floor around and I have ended up in a minute box room not big enough to swing a cat – not that I would ever want to I hasten to add! I do have a separate study actually so I am not whinging!
This is a rather boring post really but it is just a record of the move,
My new studio from outside the room
My new studio from inside the room
My old studio with Bugsy: my best friend who passed away suddenly in 2011 – I keep meaning to do a sponsored walk in his name; this year I am determined to do so!
Just think, someday a tour guide might be saying in a hushed voice, “This is where he created his masterpieces.”
Ha ha, what with a plaque on the wall too! Actually, with the state of this house you probably need to speak in a hushed voice – any loud noises and the ceiling would come in!
