I too have a North-by-Northwest window in my studio and I thought about turning my easel so that it was illuminated primarily by that cool north light.

However, I remembered a post from Peggy Baumgaertner from a while back that suggested we should paint in the light in which our paintings will be seen. My clients will hang their portraits in rooms lighted by a few plain old GE lightbulbs, with light coming from all different directions around the room.

I need to make sure my paintings look their best in that light, so I feel I need to have that kind of lighting in my studio. Thankfully I have lots of plain old GE lightbulbs in there already!
