Gosh, it's already November, it feels like I lost a month there! On October 2nd we received the keys to our new home here in Saint Jerome, Quebec and on the 5th the movers arrived with our shipment from Japan, a total of 426 boxes! So things were a bit hectic for a while, but we have emerged from our mountain of cardboard and bubble wrap, almost all of the boxes have been unpacked and we are ready to return to a sense of normalcy.
My new studio space is absolutely awesome, it is a converted garage that offers a huge amount of storage, access to hot and cold water, a nice high ceiling and plenty of natural light. With plenty of wall space I was able to surround myself with art and memories from around the world. I really love my new space and I am excited to start working again!
I was able to finish a couple of pieces while we were staying at our AirBnB so they are waiting to be varnished. I also have quite a few pieces that I was working on before leaving Japan so I am eager to get them on the easel for their final layers of paint. Keep an eye on my Instagram account (@TheArtistAbroad) where I will be posting some pictures of new works soon.
