Nightly Routine

9/18/2016

I thought that when I retired, I would have so much time to devote to painting.  Instead, I have found that my time gets taken up by many other things.......grandchildren, gallery business, church activities, and house and garden duties.  So, I have ended up painting at night, just like when I was working full time.   The day's chores and activities are complete and I can concentrate on just painting. 
This is my set-up.  I have several lights including a pole lamp with daylight bulbs on the right side of my canvas, a professional artist''s daylight easel lamp, and a small desk lamp that I use on the left side of my painting area.  My studio is not very large, so that amount of light mimics daylight as best I can.  So, if you have a small space and only the nighttime to paint, it can be done.  It is important to have a designated area for painting and to have it set up all the time so that you can just walk in and paint for a few minutes or for hours.
