Studio Refurbishment:

A leaking radiator has occasioned the need to move large amounts of kit, and materials, to facilitate access for the installation of a larger and more efficient radiator; having provided the heating engineer with room to work, the decision was taken to carry on the process of clearing out no longer needed junk, boxes, and all manner of 'I may need that in the future' items that have been accumulated in and ever increasing process of reducing my working space: rationalization has been brutal over the past few weeks, and with a small amount more to do before the studio is fully operational again I have, at least, gained space and a sense of calm and order following removal of stuff once psychologically rooted to the spot. Thanks to corrosion inside a radiator I am at last free of accumulated junk and clutter, and normal studio service will be soon restored. The new window blinds are lovely, the studio is warm, and I can get back to doing what I do best: paint.
