Now that we have arrived, rummaged around, opened boxes, scattered out belongings, the new house is finally feeling like we really live here. I am still finishing new furniture--chairs and bed almost done. After that I can begin on the studio.
    The studio is 16 x 20 ft. --just a bare room, with a bathroom to the side ( nice). I am in the process of figuring out a design for storage as there is none. I am currently thinking a large 8 foot bin on casters, 36 inches deep and about 36-38 inches high. My original design had bookshelves above--as part of the unit, but I have since changed that--and probably will again. No room yet to build this until furniture is done and taken up to the house. I have a 4 x 5' table, and a bin for matboard and foam core. 
   I see also I need room for the stretched paper on boards, clean paper, prints, supplies. and so on.
 Since I have been going through  "painting deprivation" I finally looked up and joined a local painting group Yosemite Western Artists, but haven't yet gone to any paint outs.
​    More to come, with photos!  I will include the garden also, landscaping, and large rock moving, as much of this will be interspersed with studio work.
