Bicyclistic

Just a post to let everyone that the studio is still not back in a condition to accept visitors. The scaffolding went up in November, and the roof was taken off over 7 weeks ago. Throw in Christmas, the snow, burst pipes, and a technical matter relating to guttering, and I’m still not yet back in there painting.

It’s a construction site and, I suspect, will be for some time:

This is what it looks like inside. Half of the studio, the whole length of it, has survived with just felt for a roof. This would be the half with the wet sections.

Somewhere under there is everything but some paints and brushes, and most paintings in progress. That’s a whole lot of art materials as well as things like my sketchbooks, photos, and art reference books. And since most stuff was moved into these piles by other people, I don’t know where most things are.

This is down the end behind the tent:

So I’ll have a spot of cleaning to do when I do get back in.

Apologies to everyone I’ve had to turn away in the last couple of months, but I think now it really is only days away from my return.

I don’t do well being separated from my stuff.
