Kim,

I've noticed the difference in the quality of the light and the honey tones it creates. I'm repainting "Jux", (the tattoo guy) and actually I'm seeing that the color is much more real now. Maybe the shades are filtering some of that gold out, as I work in a corner of windows. I've carried him around to other areas of the house and he looks much better in every room, including outside. I also compensate some with cool, daylight flourescent lights. I am having some problems as the light changes during the day though, so I'm going to have to do some problem solving.

Linda,

I decided that I can't photograph anyone in the sunroom due to the lack of any strong directional light, it comes from all directions! I'm going to make shades for the skylights, using "block out" fabric, so I can at least control what comes in from the ceiling. There are also many other rooms in the house that I could use. Everyone wants to be in the sunroom, but I also really like the living room which is all north light. So I'm considering moving in there. That way I can have my private space and a fireplace too. I'll post a phot of that room when I get the camera out again. I'm getting ready for my first art fair now, Aug 6th and 7th. "Jux" has to be almost done for this so I'm a little crazy.

Claudmir,

Yes, I love this space but hate sharing it. I may move to a different room because of the lighting and noise problems. My husband likes sports and that is very distracting!

Jean
