Brilliant, right?

Painting storage is a BIG DEAL for me because of the the dumb stuff I’ve done in the past.  Actually, I’ve done five dumb things — they’re named Carm, George, Noah, Smooch, and Spoon.  With cats in the studio, paintings are NEVER left in the horizontal position!

This bakers rack is working great for encaustics and caseins.  They’re protected from dust and little feet.  And I adore all ten little feet, by the way.  They’re all rescues who needed a safe home and regular groceries.  Below are George and Carm - best buds when they aren’t in mortal combat.  

Why aren’t you HERE?

George’s evil eye is very effective.  George is pretty intense about everything, actually.  He thinks I should come back to work and he’s right.  Tomorrow is the day.

I also need to cut some wood shelves for this rack.  It’s going to serve as a holding rack for encaustics in process.  Finding a way to store them so that surfaces won’t get damaged is a problem — and storing in a space saving way is really challenging.  This should work well.

Continually finding smarter ways to work in a new medium.  Always with the problem solving :).
