Studio Show and Tell (I always loved show and tell)

Please excuse the mess! My creative sensibilities are neither minimal nor organized. However, Gretchen asked me to post pictures of the studio, so here they are. The area I use is a sun room. The boxes in the back ground ARE NOT MINE (hint, hint, Uncle Sam... come get your stuff!!). I have my desk over to the right, and most of my art stuff to the left. There's also a wood burning stove which I hope to utilize in the winter time. I envision myself staying nice an toasty when the cool weather creeps in, and if one of my artworks is absolutely despicable... I'll throw it to the flames. It will be devastatingly dramatic. There's always something to look forward to around here.

I'm working with acrylic paints right now, which are not my fav, but apparently the turpentine I'd use to thin my oils will kill the bacteria in the septic tank. The bacteria (in this case) are our friends. I have a rule... never kill a friend who makes your life less stinky. So, my plan is to use up all of my acrylics and devise a safe plan for discarding my artistic waist in the mean time. Suggestions are welcome.
