This painting was just a quick one in the afternoon. I usually use my own reference photo or my friends usually forward me their photos. But today, the reference photo was from this site below.

My much needed workspace!

 I finally have my own workspace after moving in to this place. I think every artist needs that separate place just to sit down and dream:-). Probably thats one of the main reasons I never felt like painting anything simply because nothing can gave me that extra nudge. A lot of people have inspired me with their spaces. Somedays I would just sit and look at all their spaces dreaming to have that kind of space. :-) Things dont happen on their own. One has to work for it! I realised that!

And so shopped in Ikea:-). Best place to start with. I will add a few more storage drawers in some time. All this while I had an inspiration board on pinterest. I needed one board here too. But nevertheless I will continue to pin there. This I think is a good place to start with! what say?

Inspiring people and their work space:
