It is thrilling to be to this stage! Sweeping the construction debris. It’s chilly outside. The winter winds are blowing and the snow is swirling. Yet the interior of the studio stays above freeze due to those south exposure windows. We are currently washing the floor and prepping for the clear coat.

Clean up progressing nicely! Amazing how much there is to do. The initial sweep is the start of the floor finishing work.

Time for the clean up and removal of the construction debris. Work tables with wheels is very exciting. Work sinks are hooked up! Next is the heater and solar panels. Right now we are powered by the orange and green extension cord running to the main house. More exciting developments are around the corner.

Thank you to my private collectors in Toronto, Canada! Mr. had called me and wanted to buy a special painting for his wife for Valentine’s Day. He explained what a lovely wife he has and he wanted something extra special for her. You see, he explained he had not been listening to his wife lately. So he thought long and hard. Finally Mr. asked his wife if he could get something to represent the importance of listening to her and each other. They decided together to buy a painting for their home that would be a symbol of listening and understanding.
With great joy in my heart, they contacted me! Happy Valentines Day to Mr. and Mrs. private collectors in Toronto Canada! May the painting fill both of you with joy and happiness for years to come.

The subway tile around the work sink is looking magnificent. As well the tile around the bathroom sink is going to be wonderful and white. The windows are all trimmed and caulked in place. I am working on priming them. Soon the interior is done! Cleaning the construction mess off the floor should be underway in the next week or so. Currently the studio is receiving power by way of a long extension cord plugged into the big house. It’s a seriously long extension cord! Stay tuned for the exterior setup....

Taking a small break from construction to enjoy the view. I can’t wait to unpack my boxes and get the studio setup for working. The images I posted today are from the large scale wall I built 10 years ago.
Over the river over and through the woods
fiberglass, varnish, pigment and welding steel.

Reminiscent of the sliding walls in Zen temples. I painted and built a large scale prototype. It’s 8 foot tall and 15foot in length. There are 4 sliding panels or doors that are hung from an overhead beam. The scene and colors are inspired from the spring time when the light and colors shift from winter to spring in northern Michigan. The action of moving the panels and walking through is reminiscent of a visit to the woods. My favorite park for viewing the spring awakening is Amen Park , Michigan. There one can find an abundance of wild flowers and blossoming trees from mid April to May. Thanks to my friend Betsy for the glamorshot.
Note- this piece will be a part of the first installation project upcoming! Stay tuned for more excellent news.

wow. I never thought that I could be considered courageous for building my studio in a rural setting. What a great compliment from @vandyker! We are having such a nice time here. Walter, the mountain lion loves to hike the trails nearby. And the three little bears tumbling and giggling are so cute. The flocks of turkeys, blue birds, crows, and other birds are abundant. Bunny the Cottontail loves to hop to and nibble on the grassy areas. Occasionally we see a magestic bald eagle. Of course the red tail hawks are always on the hunt. Our greenhouse has a nice herd of lizards and frogs. Life is slow here. It’s finally Time to rejuvenate and be at peace. Eternally grateful for this amazing life.
