The gas company finally came to run the line to the barn! I was beginning to think it would be spring before I had any heat in the studio. My sweet stove is up and running and my studio is now toasty. The painters finished the exterior painting and hung my sign over the door. I am moving my paints, easels, equipment, and furniture out to the barn at last! The days are getting longer and the light is growing brighter. I am almost ready to start painting in my beautiful new studio!
