My third art studio in Minneapolis was in the basement of an apartment building. I had a 20' x 20' space with 30' ceilings and a tiny window at the top. As with all of my studios, I spent weeks prepping, cleaning, building, and arranging the place until I was ready to paint.
I created my chrome works in this studio, and really not much else. I worked on my large texture chrome paintings for almost a year before I was happy with them. Living here was not uneventful, as I created one of my masterworks (or so I think it is). Enjoy the pics.
At the time I was so proud of this painting that upon completing it I sat and stared at it for over a month. That might sound excessive, but it was so different, and so new that I had to be sure it was as good as I believed it to be. When you create something that you truly believe a masterwork, it is hard to accept at first. You stare at it and evaluate its worth, your worth, and how it is going to be received.
