I've been painting up a storm this past
month and have completed 14 oil paintings in various sizes...It's a really good
start on feeding the gallery fresh material and having plenty of additional new
painting for the upcoming shows. Trouble is ---the paintings can't be touched
or touch anything else until they are dry. I have had oil paintings stacked
everywhere... atop of my books in the bookcase, on top of other dry paintings (
separated by a clean rag), on my desk, on my still life platform.... And the
more I painted, the greater the risk one painting would fall over or get
knocked into another. I tried making some cardboard canvas carriers, but my cat
thought it was a new place to play hide n seek. Pulling cat hair out of wet
paint is no fun at all.

Two shelves up one more to go....he even kept the plaster from
falling on the canvases below.
That's when my
wonderful husband came to my rescue. He put up a high shelf the full length of
the studio. It's too high for the cat to jump up onto, wide and long enough to
support most of my standard canvas sizes, and because it is up so high, the
canvases are not in danger of being accidentally bumped or knocked over. This
should give me plenty of drying space and free up a lot of work area. Life just
got a whole lot simpler.

Finished. Thank you, darling!

Welcome", he says.
