Studio progress; concrete is poured!

We’ve actually begun the first stages of moving my studio. We spent the weekend moving  my office and carving out a temporary setup at home. Next weekend we’ll move my painting stuff and set up the temporary studio at another location. So for a while, my office computer and my studio workspace are going to be separated, which means my blogging is going to be (even more) erratic over the next few weeks as we move and I get used to my new temporary setups. Not an ideal situation, but I rather expected this given the tight timeline we put ourselves on to get the new studio built.

Meanwhile, progress has been made on the studio building. Here are a couple of shots of the foundation:

Forms were set, in preparation for pouring the concrete:

After the concrete was poured they took the forms off:

This morning the concrete guys are finishing up their work, including backfilling and grading the ground, and then we’ll be ready for the builder. We’ve gotten word from the builder that they can be ready to start this week, so long as my special order doors come in. Fingers crossed!

  1. Jennifer,

    I really like the way the shadows and light work on the aggregate base coarse. Bonita!

  2. And the way you can make out construction boot imprints in the bud. Double Bonita!

  3. I meant mud! 3 BONITA!

  4. Thanks Rick- Perhaps my best work yet?

  5. How exciting for you and DISTRACTING! I know you want this to be over!!!!
    It is nice that we can see the progress but will you also take photos of the opening party and all? LOL

  6. Hehe. It’s more than distracting…nearly all consuming. The morning of the workshop we had 10 phone calls and 3 or 4 deliveries first thing! The good news is that all of the exterior stuff will apparently be over soon. Then we’ll have to tackle the inside.

    As for the opening party, weeellll….I think I’m all partied out for a while. Dull and boring is sounding pretty good to me right now! LOL! But maybe something after the new year when I’ve had some time to just be a working artist again.
