RABBIT'S MOON ASHEVILLE STUDIO

GETTING SET UP FOR THE SUMMER.

THE STUDIO IS SURROUNDED BY NATURE.  THERE IS NOT A VIEW THAT DOES NOT CALL OF LUSH GREEN NEWLY LEAFING TREES.  BIRD FEEDERS SET OUT, IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE BIRDS TO REALIZE WE ARE BACK.



 A EARLY VISITOR TO GREET US,  ROCKY RACCON, SO NAMED.  HE APPEARS TO BE FOND OF BIRD SEED.  HE IS ACTUALLY FAIRLY FRIENDLY, A YOUNG FELLOW I THINK.

THIS IS THE UPPER STUDIO, THERE IS A WORKSHOP IN THE GARAGE FOR SAWING, PAINTING, AND CONSTRUCTION.  THIS IS FOR PLANNING AND FINE WORK.  THE HORNETS NEST WAS FOUND BY A NEIGHBOR WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THIS AREA.  ON HIS WALKS IN THE WOODS HE FINDS TREASURES HE BRINGS BACK FOR ME.  ONCE IT WAS SNAKE SKINS, ANOTHER TIME A BIRDS NEST OR AN UNUSUAL FUNGI OR INSECT.

IN THE DRAWERS OF MY TOOL BOX ARE A COLLECTION OF YEARS OF FINDS, OBJECTS OF DELIGHT.  SOME THINGS APPEAR ON THE STREET, OR ALLEY, SOME IN AN ANTIQUE SHOP OR THRIFT SHOP AND SOME ARE GIVE BY FRIENDS WHO KNOW I LOVES RUST AND INTERESTING FOUND OBJECTS.

NATURE INSPIRES ARTISTS, IT INSPIRES ME.  TO LOOK OUT AND SEE SUCH BEAUTY WHILE YOU CREATE CANNOT HELP BUT LEND TO THE WHOLE PROCESS.   

I WILL ADD PICTURES OF THE DOWNSTAIR WORKSHOP LATER SO YOU CAN GET A FEEL FOR THE WHOLE AREA.

VINCI, LEONARDO DA VINCI, IS THE STUDIO DOG.  HE KEEPS ME COMPANY AND GUARDS THE AREA FROM CAT INTERFERENCE AND THE LIKE.  HE TAKES HIS JOB VERY SERIOUSLY, KEEPING THE CAT AWAY THAT IS!
