Its thyme to step inside my studio to see what I've been working on

I love spending thyme in my

Cape Cod Studio

Come on in !

I'll show you what has been keeping me busy!

 Lady Bugs! Lots of them!

and 

summer thyme signs

Even though there is still plenty of 

SUMMER DAYS

left I have started to think of 

FALL

And

how it will be here before I know it!

so I have been thinking 

WITCHES

pumpkins and crows

sunflowers...............and lots more!

Most days you will find me here....

painting and creating

I do like to take a break 

and walk outside into my gardens 

to see whats is in bloom

hmmmmmmmmm..........looks like the 

Lady Bugs decided to follow me!

 Herb planters

this is our first summer here so its fun seeing what will come into bloom next

such a peaceful place to be!

Some thymes I even hop in my car with my lunch

and 

drive 10 minutes over to the beach or harbor

And 

at the end of the day

I feel so very blessed to be doing what I love the most!

"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon. 

 Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, 

and 

at the end of the day you don't look at it

and 

wish you had painted something different."

Its painting thyme again for me!

DO NOT PIN MY PHOTOS TO PINTEREST
I'm glad to be back into painting full time again

after my 3 week trip to Italy

and

the not so perfect trip home

as I described in my last post

HERE

I've been at the Cape

and

I'm loving my new studio

Why don't you step inside for a peek !

Its bright and cheery

and

there is plenty of room to spread out and create!

I have been busy designing new things for summer

and

also painting some old favorites!

Here is a

Large Primitive Pineapple Door Box

 I designed

It measures about 36" tall

Well.........

back to the brushes for me

I'm thinking

Red, White and Blue paint next!

Hugs,

Lynn

I think its thyme to say that SPRING HAS ARRIVED!

This is the door that leads to my paint studio

on

Cape Cod

Oh what a

 BEAUTIFUL DAY!

I decided to take a short painting break

 and

walk around the yard

and

enjoy what is in bloom

I designed and painted the bench in my header( hubby built it)

as a birthday gift for my Mom last year
She has it on her patio

I purchased unfinished wood birdhouses that I painted and added to the top of the bench!

My Mom has already had some nesters......a sure sign of SPRING!

Hugs,

Lynn

Thyme for tour of my Cape Cod studio to see what I've been painting........

In January my husband and I purchased 

what will be our retirement home on Cape Cod

We have been doing lots of renovations

This is the door  to my studio.....

come on in and see what I've been painting!

these are some 

BEFORE 

pictures of my studio

It had been used as a work shop by the former owner.

Its heated, air conditioned, has a bathroom

and 

is on the main floor of the house.

this is a very BIG room

18'x18'

I vacumned and washed the floor

and

removed all draws and cabinet doors

I painted them

BLACK

I base coated the

RED FLOOR...BLACK

using 2 coats of a good quality floor paint

I re- hung cabinet doors and added new

black wrought iron hardware

One of my painting tables

I cut out an 18'x18' diamond template

My husband and I laid out the pattern on floor

and 

used a roller to paint

oh my aching knees and back!

Its been said that DIAMONDS are a girls best friend????

I saw a LOT of diamonds this weekend....

I painted a large New England sign to hang over my paint table

We still have all around the outside edges of the room to paint

but I am loving it so far!

The center of the room will have a large desk

I am re-finishing 2 large cabinets that will go in there also for storage

So what do you think?

Painting partay anyone?

Hugs,

Lynn
