Dream studio details...

[Steven Sweeney]

Once I found the ideal model, all other matters became, indeed, mere detail. Penetrating conversationalist with encyclopedic command of reported facts and supernatural overtones, gourmand, and -- dare I say -- contortionist non pareil.

As you can see, with this beginning, the barest, most pedestrian of easels, palettes, and lighting arrays become secondary. Who could not produce offerings from such an altar?

There is always something more to wish for, of course. Headroom. And some space for stepping back from the easel.

But I am less greedy and needful than in my youthful days. And I am willing to put up with the molting. Call it a fetish, but there it is.

Some practical suggestions:

Running water
Restroom w/shower
Stove
Refrigerator
Animals
Bed for napping
Bookshelves
Well stocked cupboard

I think I'm describing a guesthouse!

Beth, how is your puppy doing?

Jean

Steven, is this your studio?

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
