My Art Room

This is the door to my art room.  There's a sculpture of Andy Warhol by Karen Fulk at the top, to the left is a Mexican frame with a sculpture in it by Kanika Marshall.  The hearts done by my little orange haired grandson, Nevvy.  Just looking at this door makes me happy I guess because I know what good stuff is inside the room.

I open the door and the smell is delicious in there.  The fragrance is a combination of clean painted walls, oil paint and acrylic paints that I use almost every day mixed with a citrusy perfume.  The lemon and lime fragrance is from the handy wipes that I keep ready at all times.   Smell is the first of my senses that is aroused, then I turn on the 9 flood lights that give me the feeling of sunshine on my shoulders.  There are usually a couple paintings in progress on the wall which make me happy because that means I have work to do.  Even if they are only so-so, even if they are totally ugly...the new day brings fresh energy and I dive into the process.
