Thanks so much everyone for all the great information!!

This is all so helpful for my planning. Chris, I will check out the colors you mentioned. I can see how having a mid value room color would not only harness the ambient light, but also I am imagining that having a midvalue vs. a white wall would be better in that, when painting, the wall behind the easel (what you see peripherally while painting) would be more condusive - But I wasn't sure if in doing that you actually shift the color of the light in the room and risk how you paint because of it. So this really helps.

Thanks, Tim on the billiards example - I didn't know if one should light the whole room or have single controlled directional light.

Leslie, I have the same treat in my space - a pond off the back of the house with tons of fowl - it is a great reprieve for the eyes and soul!

Thanks again all!
