With so much light and no shadows at all up there, would North light still be the only light source that would work? It is a nice place in a convenient location for a reasonable rent, but with windows on the South, East and West sides. I could consider moving there if I couldn't paint there.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
Yours,

Dear Anthony,
As one whose had windows facing in most directions, if you prefer natural light, I can strongly recomend sticking with northern light. The important thing, the sun is NEVER in the northern sky, so it never moves. You can work with it all day, if you're so inclined. Windows facing other directions, the sun is always moving across the sky, so you generally cannot work for longer than three hours at a time.
If you do stilllife work, the N. light enables one to work all day long.
