Last night on Facebook I made the comment that I was lucky to have my Studio AKA Magic Workshop AKA half of the garage :D. Two people PMed and asked why was that. So this is why... I remember when rent and food where more important than art supplies, when I didn't have a home at all. Years later I remember when babies needed more attention than finding my inspiration and then I remember living far from home in another country with a big house but being too much of an Art Indiana Jones to settle down to "studio practice". But most important of all I remember not listening to my heart or the messages the earth gives me... not thinking I could be a real artist unless I had a sun filled loft in Manly while I painted gloriously large oils. Yeah it's just a brick garage, half underground... but ohhh the Magic is there.... I look out at trees and glimpses of the sky, I hear kookaburras and others I have no name for and have lots of beautiful spiders, lizards and friends who call it home. It's filled with old tables and funny chairs and people like to come over and sit and chat while I work. I wear old pajama pants, the air is filled with everything from Heavy Metal to Tribal Drums and teenage laughter and chatter at times... It's not a 'fancy' studio at all... it's far far more... a Magical Workshop in every way to me and YES I am VERY VERY lucky.
