This is a pretty big step, as my studio has been our condo. But the condo has sort of filled up with frames and mat board and foam core and pictures. The computer and printers are in our bedroom, and my stepdaughter's bedroom fills up with prints just varnished.
The real reason I bought the space is that when I saw it, it spoke to me. I just knew this would make a good studio. It has big picture windows with a north view, a good front space for an office/reception and a huge back space for work tables. One corner in the back space, near the pair of windows, should make a good corner for doing portraits. Around both rooms there is plenty of wall space to put up pictures for a gallery.
The location on Route 28 pretty much means that anyone from Bourne to Woods Hole to Martha's Vineyard drives past. And, for the time being, that is the community I hope to serve.
Buzzards Bay, the Canal, Gray Gables, Mashpee, Back River, Monument Beach, Tobey Island, Monk's Cove, Pocasset, Hen Cove, Patuisset, Cataumet, Squeteague, Megansett, Old Silver, Chapoquoit, Black Beach, Sippewissett, Wood Neck, Quissett, Woods Hole, Naushon, Robinson's Hole, Pasque, Quicks' Hole, Nashawena, Cuttyhunk, Menemsha. I have been up and down the Buzzards Bay east shore since before I can remember and gone a bit beyond to the Vineyard -- I hope to do more.
And I hope that my sign on the road will reach out to anyone with some part of their life in these places along the Bay shore, and you will stop in and see what I have to share.
Here are some pictures of the studio space before I move in.
Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to get the studio and I look forward to seeing it, and you, and your wonderful photographs.
Michael and I were photographing puffins in Maine when you had your open house, so we missed it.
Hope to see you soon,
Warmly, Ida
