 MOUNTAIN STUDIO
This is a photo of my studio which is only 97 feet from our home making it a fairly short "commute" to work and although I enjoy painting on location plein air, most of my paintings nowadays are completed in the studio, for me a perfect spot to paint with full spectrum lighting and the entire fully glazed rear wall facing true north which is perfect for artists. We choose to live and work in one of the most rural, and still ecologically balanced and clean areas of Pennsylvania with all manner of wildlife. Sullivan County is called "the Gem of The Endless Mountains" with only 1 traffic light in the entire county and at night it becomes a blinker, a point of much pride among many locals. We can not see another neighbor from our house unless you count deer, black bear or turkeys, just the way we like it.
