Spring cleaning

(C) 2017 Dale DiMauro

Last week I started to thin stuff out of my studio space.  Stuff collected as it does from time to time in the form of framed paintings to art supplies and hand-me downs. I have had no where to put twenty or so framed paintings so they sat leaning on my flat files which I thus could not get at. So I started emptying out my closet to put new, more relevant, stuff in. 

Well, it is a huge improvement. I have a five-foot wide birch topped drafting table which I have not seen in it's entirety in awhile. It feels like I have acquired new real estate.

Some of this cleaning is inspired by the advent of Spring and much due to the dreary weather forecast for the next ten days. This little pen and ink with watercolor I came upon in my cleaning. To me it speaks of the enthusiasm for Spring and Summer here in Vermont, where the landscape is beautiful.
