This is what is directly behind me: The franken-computer lab where everything sits in pieces. One of those used to be my home server, but I'm trying to have less computers on 24/7, so both of these are off and being combined together to be awesomer.
on a short hiatus for now.. prob would post more when I have the urge to go out and shoot.. and renew my pro subscription at the same time..
This is what happens when I build every night for weeks straight. I've needed to sort for nearly a year now what can't be seen is 2 huge "to be sorted" bins under the desk and random caches of LEGO and mocs scattered around the house.
My first workspace in London:
The Vir2L office in London - back in dotcom heyday of 2000: shiny office, "designer" furniture", fast and big machines, lots of free books.

Workspace for my girlfriend and me, set up using wall-mounted ELFA shelves from the container store.
Ok, yeah, I really need to clean this up. Some things are on my main workspace that shouldn't be there.. lol
I cleaned my desk today, probably because I had a lot of nervous energy after drinking four cups of coffee (each with three creamers and five sugars).
"November Beach", acrylic, 20" x 37", on canvas. This is my first presentation of another artist's work. Arlene won "Best in Show" with this entry in the 1973 Annual Labor Day Show of the Rappahannock Art League. She was a founding member, and was at the first meeting I attended in 1972. We were a very small group then, and met in members' homes. The show in 1973 was held at the Bank of Lancaster in Kilmarnock, Virginia. I remember that we had quite a time figuring out how to hang a painting on the vault door!!!
Arlene was born December 22, 1916, and was married to George J. Danko (deceased) for 64 years. Their sons, David, Paul, Peter survive Arlene, and a son Jay is deceased. I remember their tender care of Jay whose disability did not diminish his sense of humor and sweetness. I also remember the several acres, home and outbuildings at the water's edge in White Stone. Much to look after there, but they were always ready to help others.
Painting was Arlene's most happy pursuit, and she continued on for many years, only in the past few had she become frustrated with aging limitations. Nevertheless, her family set up a workspace for her should the painting muse ever appear.
I find it sad that many members of our art league no longer remember her, or worse, never had the chance to know her steady and purposeful personality. That strength enabled her to give and get back the essence of her creative life. This painting shows her great energy and love of the Rappahannock River in all seasons.
I am so fortunate to have this prize-winning painting of hers, which I have enjoyed since 1972. My husband bought it for me when we were flat broke and it seemed a crazy thing to do. Sometimes we need to be that kind of crazy I think.
