I am so happy to announce that I now have an overhead light in the art studio! *squee* And guess what!?! It did not cost a dime!
This is the hanging light when it was hanging in the family room.
Blessings!

This the art studio before we had an overhead light.
We moved the hanging lamp from the family room, and Mr. Art @ Home bought an OttLite artist's lightbulb for it, and I love how it makes the colors on the canvas pop. Check it out!

Here it is hanging in the art studio!
Here are a few paintings in progress. Look at how the colors pop under the OttLite! :D
Sorry about the glare, but the wet paint is shiny.

That is a beautiful light for the art studio! Your studio is so pretty and the light is like art itself, so it's the perfect home for it.

ReplyDeleteChe carino il tuo studio!E con la giusta luce รจ perfetto!Baci!Rosetta
ReplyDeleteIt's so great when you can re-use or re-purpose an item. Your lamp looks great and probably makes such a difference for you in that room. I need lots of light in every room. It just makes life better for me to be able to see and not squint.
ReplyDeleteOh how nice! I have a floor Ott lamp too and it really helps. I wish I had a painting studio like you though...Christine
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Dear Friend,
ReplyDeleteI love your art studio.....where is the junk, those darn supplies that seem to accumulate. I remember it wasn't so long ago when you did your make over in the studio. It looks grand and yes light is a good thing. I am back on the blogging radar again and have missed you. That darn thing called life can just get in the way at times.
I love your art. Kathy
The fireplace tiles are so awesome also! Love the lamp and sofa looks so comfy! What a great room for creating!

Wow! The overhead light completes the serene, calm and elegant white room you have Ricki.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhhhh! How's many cookies and dollars for the painting on the left! Maybe a pocket sized print? My daughter's name is Lily, so my radar is always looking to tune in, and that is BEAUTIfUL!!
ReplyDeleteWell! that is fantastic! It is a beautiful light - I'll have to look for that bulb! Gorgeous paintings - very inspiring room! I hope you have a blessed day,

Good Evening Ricki Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful share this evening. I simply adore your lamp in your art studio. What a wonderful statement it makes. It is FUN just like you. Oh the painting on the left stole my heart. It looks like my amaryllis that just miraculously bloomed for my birthday. How very pretty. Girl your talents amaze me.
I love your studio share. Looks like you are all set to start on a new project. Can't wait to see what pops off your next canvas.
Have a glorious weekend sweetie. Many hugs and so much love, Sherry
Your paintings a so cute. I really like the one with the pink flowers, and the blue vase. I like the hanging light too.
ReplyDeleteThe lamp is so pretty, perfect for your art studio.
ReplyDeleteThe studio is beautiful. The light looks reall great there and wow, those paintings are fabulous. I am so happy you have your studio and you are getting it more and more perfect! Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteLove your studio and your hanging lamp is the perfect addition. Your paintings look fabulous! Have a great weekend my talented friend.

Oh, Ricki Jill, I really like your hanging light in your art studio. I have thought about the Ott lites for use at my sewing machine, especially when I'm machine quilting. I need to consider that.
ReplyDeleteNow you've got me excited to head off to Michaels to look at Smash books. I have heard of them & have seen them advertised there, but always forget to look. That sounds right up my ally!
Happy Mother's Day, sweet friend!
