crime scene

Maybe it's the flash effect that lends this photo a certain forensic tone.  Maybe it's the pink bathroom effect.  Maybe the jerry-rigged-electrical-socket effect.

*laughs*   (maybe it's the artwork itself, but I'm not going there... !)

Anyway, here is a small room in the back corner of the basement, fairly separate from the rest of the house, and so it makes a good oil drying room.  It makes a good darkroom, too, but for now it's an oil-drying room.

I had to stand in the bathtub to get this shot.  There are a few more paintings not in the frame, quietly and patiently drying, while the less patient artist is off in her studio room working on other things.
