a glimpse into an artist's studio

Many people are curious about how an artist's studio looks. I also enjoy visiting my friends' studios and seeing how differently we all work. Obviously so much depends on the personality of each artist and the available space. The ones I can never get over are the tiny immaculate ones, which are so foreign to my somewhat (OK, very) messy way of working. Strangely enough, although I am a complete dirtbag, who splashes paint around liberally, I always have to start each bout of painting with a relatively tidy workspace. This is the studio during this week's tidy up.
