Inside My Studio

atelier \at-l-YAY\, noun:

A workshop; a studio.

Several years ago, Eddie kicked me out of the garage. Seems I was getting sawdust all over his "guy stuff". Fortunately, he built a studio for me.

Lacey and Dalton painted the side of my storage building.

I must admit it is fabulous to have my own space. I'd love to tell you it is clean some days, but that would be false. I also think I have a problem. I love paint. Gallons upon gallons of paint. Is there a 12 step program for people like me?

Hello, my name is Reba, and I like paint.

I love sitting here - there is a bird feeder and a hummingbird feeder right outside this window. "Big Earl" loves to sit here too...which makes painting a bit tricky!

If Big Earl isn't watching me paint or chasing chipmunks, he also sits outside the studio door. Eddie calls him my "Guard Cat"!

Sometimes, along with watching the birds and playing with Big Earl, I also get a little distracted with my flowers. I can be painting like crazy, and before you know it, I have wandered off into the garden.

Blueberry bush outside studio door - great snacks for me and the little cardinal thief!

It's not just the birds, cats, and garden that give me attention problems,

Work in progress....

and now the finished product...
