In terms of your things, what does your space (studio/office/living area) look like?
My current space has taken on a “sunroom” vibe throughout: including a fantastic “fireplace garden” inside of my (non-working) vintage fireplace.

Where do you normally get your things?
New Orleans has such a wealth of fantastic estate sales, local and vintage shops around town there’s no lack of place to find lovely items. Also, I always look for items when I’m traveling around to various countries, cities and even nearby small towns: the most stunning items can be found where you least expect them.

What is your prize possession/”thing”/collectible/tool?
While the decision is tough, two of my most prized possessions are vintage (circa 1920) wingback chairs with peacocks embroidered on them. They are a perfect combination of chic and charming.

day 199 – four tangential studies

I usually make a study before I make a painting, it helps me work out composition and colour, and lets me keep the actual painting really fresh.  In the same box with all my palette studies is every study I’ve made, even for pieces of art that don’t (directly) connect with bodies of work.  Some of the paintings made from these studies were given away for art auctions, and now the study is the only memory of the piece.
