Painting In My Garage

During the late summer and early fall months I tend to paint in the garage with the door open. This affords me the opportunity to continue working in oils without having to stop and clean up when the afternoon rains come. It also offers me the opportunity to chit-chat with my neighbors who happen by and want to see what I am working on in a given day.  Due to the slow drying properties of oil, I tend to juggle two or three paintings at a time. Soon the chill in the air will force me inside, where I will paint in acrylic and watercolor in the upstairs studio during the winter months. Below is a photo of me working in my "garage studio" on a couple of flower paintings.
