studio love

.....I spend all my available time in my studio,I love it in there so much...its a little cramped at the moment...... but thats it huh ! what can you do apart from take photos of the coherent spaces :)
in order now !....messy table , this is THE reality of how I work and I LOVE IT !!...God is our refuge and our strength..you can change god to good or love or whatever but I never get tired of this picture (1940's church hall sign)
my nest \sofa...its MINE do you hear me ,dogs/children etc..mine (well I dont mind sharing it sometimes)
My books , a very few of maybe 100 times this many at least....books are my lovers .
Tony O'Malley..Irish painter, unfortunately gone to a better place...I will never forget this man, I met him on Clare island many ,many years ago ,a total sweetheart and pure pixie.. it is his words that I see most days
never be swayed by anything but by your own work and vision.
The new image at the top of the blog is from my newly retrieved book ,that I came across in my parents attic.
This book, printed in 1968, has never left my imagination , it is totally mad ,the images one more scary than the next ,is it any wonder I am like I am ! ....but do you know what ? I absolutely love it ...Candy and Andy ..you still rock
