This is my new studio space! As of today! It isn't much to look at but out of this gray shack will come many new paintings.
It's probably irresponsible to rent studio space with my unemployment check. But it absolutely had to be done.
(My sister says Van Gogh would've done the same. She would know, I gave her Van Gogh's letters for Christmas and she's read it and, because she has the amazing ability to remember every word she reads, quotes it back to me regularly. But I told her to be careful about encouraging me to follow Van Gogh's particular career path because then I would expect her to support me financially while I paint. Luckily I'm more self-sufficient than Van Gogh, and my lack of steady employment will work itself out eventually.)
But I'm very excited about having some small bit of studio space since I've been trapped in my family's house for 5 months far away from everything and everybody. The studio is in Somerville in a perfect location. I'll be able to meet people, get of the house, look for a day job, and paint all at the same time. It put me in such a good mood I was able to land some freelance work for the week.

good for you - that's a brave thing to do with your UI :) hope it works out - this is a pretty discouraging time to be unemployed, re-investing in your painting seems like a great thing to do...
