The past few days I've been moving a lot of my stuff into our attached garage.  No, Barb's not kicking me out.  We converted it into an apartment and added a bath.  Jaryd's mom and dad lived there for a few months while he was between jobs and she finished school.  I also had a darkroom in there which they converted to a kitchen.  Anyway, now it's going to be a studio.  I'm going to move all my art supplies out there and also my lighting equipment.  Since I'll probably be spending most of my time out there, technically, I guess Barb did kick me out.  I'll have all my photo gear, except cameras, art stuff, and hobby stuff in one place with plenty of room.  Only need a beer fridge and it'll be a Man Cave, albeit, with all the art stuff and no TV maybe a "Sensitive" Man Cave!
  Since I've been hauling the stuff anyway I thought I'd setup a tools challenge shot.

Some Artist's Tools.
Reflection in a Palette Knife. I liked this reflection as I was setting it up so I closed in.

  I know it may be presumptious to call myself an artist (especially lately) but that's what I went to school for, until circumstances forced me in another direction.  But when I retired as an electrician I told everyone that from now on whenever anyone asked what I did, I was going to tell them "I'm an artist".  They usually think it's a joke and sometimes, on a bad day, I do too but I can't quit doing it and I know in my heart... I am an artist!  And since Barb and I have been on this diet...a freakin' starving artist!
