It's hard where I live...few artists, virtually none have a true workspaces.<br /><br />One thing that interests me is seeing how the work flows, and the evidences left behind after completion- check out Pam Farrell's wall and floor, for example! That speaks volumes about her process. Inspiration boards (and Marybeth Rothman's "thinking desk") say much about creative input and development of ideas.Stephanie Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13208066564509737843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381075964201165228.post-50087241200671634652010-02-11T15:33:54.365-05:002010-02-11T15:33:54.365-05:00thanks for posting this very good piece...

I remember doing open studios in a studio building in Oakland (CA) and many of the visitors said nothing about the work and asked about the loft space (granted, it was magnificent space, but still...). It is really insulting to have some Yuppie visualizing their $3,000 designer leather couch in your space or asking you what you pay for utilities.

I do try to be welcoming to all. <br /><br />The one other point I would add is to feel free to ask questions--I enjoy learning from others what they are thinking about my work.Ann Brauerhttp://www.annbrauer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381075964201165228.post-25027473984111373212010-02-11T02:47:37.255-05:002010-02-11T02:47:37.255-05:00You sound like such a good studio visitor.

And I love Pam's studio wall/floor plus the green painting that looks as fresh as an unfurled leaf in spring - so much better than white.Nancy Natalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325421420384484035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381075964201165228.post-9863465152700879862010-02-10T16:29:30.330-05:002010-02-10T16:29:30.330-05:00Hi Pam,

I do enjoy our studio visits, ...Well thanks, Lisa!<br /><br />I do enjoy our studio visits, and as I have said to you before, "You give good studio."<br /><br />I appreciate the do's and don'ts of studio visits...I especially like the idea of leaving yourself at the door. (It's what I do in my psychotherapy practice, because the focus is on the client.) But sometimes when going into an artist's studio, the part of my brain that starts firing off ideas gets excited and stimulated by the sight of art, paint, materials, space, etc. It's a good reminder for my ADD brain to leave my "self" at the door.<br /><br />I'd like to add one other do for visitors...if you're cold, or hot, or thirsty or need a bathroom or whatever, it's a good idea to speak up and attend to needs that if unmet might interfere with the visit and appreciation of the work. At least it's a "DO" in my studio.Pamela Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892384331947566237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381075964201165228.post-70028872226938876452010-02-10T16:07:56.620-05:002010-02-10T16:07:56.620-05:00HI Binnie,
