Okay, this is not what you normally conjure up when thinking of an artist's tool kit but I had the revelation last night that this was a key to more painting happening around here.
My ideal studio would be a warm, light filled, totally sound proof room with hot water on tap for coffees and a fridge full of inspiring and interesting foods to recharge upon. The reality however, is light years away from this! One of these ideals however, can be approximated, and the joys of undisturbed trains of thought are mine (and yes, by this you can deduce that I am an introvert).
