Studio/Gallery

The studio/gallery is beginning to come together. The wall color is bold and striking with everyone who enters commenting on it. So, Sharon and I have decided to keep it...which means less work for us. We can always paint over it in the future if we want to.

The space was previously used as a dance studio and had a full wall of mirrors. We donated the mirrors to a wonderful new Performing Arts Center for young people in downtown Ocala. They removed the mirrors and are patching the wall.

The current ceiling lights are certainly adequate, but art needs really good lighting. After searching Ocala (I always try to buy locally) for track lights nothing met our needs. So, off to IKEA in Orlando where we found the perfect lights...and on sale!!

Next week the patched wall will be painted, lights will be installed (thanks to our husbands) and then...drum roll please....we get to hang our paintings!!!
