TRANSOMS

    I have filled the void in the transoms with hammered glass.  Like the glass in my studio, this is a product sold by my friends at Laurel Gallery.  Looking good!

FRAGILE

   We spent some time this past weekend cleaning up the transoms to be re-installed.  Only one of the 6 total transoms still has unpainted original glass.  I am having clear hammered glass cut to fit the remaining glass-less transoms.   

   

Original textured glass remains in one transom to be hung in library door

SERENITY

    The intent when creating and outfitting my studio, be it here on Warren Road or over on Hawthorne Avenue, has been to establish a space which evokes both creativity and serenity for me.

   My studio is an ever changing space as new projects begin and end and, on occasion, go on and on as has my infamous unfinished painting "Road Trip".

  As my studio here on Hawthorne takes shape,  my thoughts have been 'bring in the light', 'retain the character and charm of this old house', 'maximize work space and storage', and 'keep it comfortable and creative'.

Two weeks ago I took a trip to a local gallery with my studio's side-lights.  I worked to clean them up back in January and decided I wanted to replace the broken and missing glass with colored glass.

What Beth and Jeanie at Laurel Gallery helped me come up with is perfect.....for me.

Once this is all painted and installed,  a sunny afternoon in my studio will surely put a smile on my face as light moves through the colored glass.
