Thank you for your kind comments. My wife tried to convince me to wait until I was retired to build this studio, but I am not sure that I would have the energy or strength 20+ years from now! About 10% (based on the overall cost) of the studio I did not personally build but contracted out (e.g., digging and pouring the foundation).
I have attached two images of the interior. The walls are extra thick and filled with insulation. I also insulated below the oak plank floors (and above the ceililng, of course), so I hope the heating bill this winter is low.
From one of the images, you can see that I enjoy collecting antique hats--and using them in the portraits when they fit. At the school where I teach, I picked up the slate blackboards (barely visible in the background behind the easel) and then built the frame and chalk tray for them. I use the chalk tray to hold paintings that are drying.
