Although the remodel is still underway, I’m working in my attic studio today. It’s actually a great space … western light, the only drawback, can be managed, especially on a cloudy day like today. Two other times I’ve had attic studios, in Easton and Asheville … have done some of my most elevated painting there. Working on this little Collie commission today.

That’s Alia Atredes, tailless wonder, at the top of the narrow staircase … which I really love (architecture and quadruped) … until it’s time to schlep large furniture upstairs!

Another Birth of Venus painting. Yes that’s a gold leaf upper background … thinking Botticelli meets Klimpt.
