Reorganizing My Art Studio Brings Back Memories

After bringing home a variety of new materials with no good place to put them, I decided to reorganize my art studio. The project has brought challenges, excitement, and memories.

For years, I have stored cards and invitations to art events from various galleries. It's enlightening to see the evolution of quality in these invitations. Many of the early ones are black and white; some are paper prints from a copy machine. Later on, the cards got slicker and much nicer. A lot of the artists are no longer with us or are no longer making art.

I've discovered lost or misplaced art supplies. And I have found little painting treasures I had forgotten I'd made.

I don't know how long this project will take, but, upon completion, I think it will be well worth the effort. Hopefully, I'll have photos to post before too long.
