Do you paint out of your bedroom, laundry room, or living room? Or are you one of the lucky artists with your own studio—a converted garage maybe? A rented space, even?
I’ve always painted out of an extra room in my house. In fact, I combine several things—a computer, an easel, a work-desk—to make an all-purpose room for whatever creative activity I’m currently engaged in.
But (like many artists, I’m sure) I also think wistfully of renting a studio somewhere with lots of space. Room to move while I paint. : )
What about you?
Do you have your own studio space for your art?

Before removing the laundry tub and water faucets we decided to make it into my studio. My husband has done everything possible to help me get set up. I also have a large double closet for extra supplies. I have a large eastern window and we are planning to add a skylight also.1
