  1. Looks like you still got some interesting “crime scene” photographs out of this happening..

  2. There’s a sale on space heaters at the Goodwill in Chicopee.

  3. brrr! I would never get anything done!

    i remember being out there an painting with you last christmas, we had to turn the heater on a good few hours before we could paint and even then you could still see your breath!

  5. I feel your pain! My workshop is frozen, too. Makes it tough to keep motivated, doesn’t it?

  6. Thinks of this as an opportunity, not as a problem. Perfect place to create ice sculpture. You already have your first right there in the sink- a readymade!

  7. heheh yep, Andrew, funny photos and a good laugh. i’m still not sure about the fate of the brushes. i’ll find out this week. temps are on the rise–YAY!

    good tip, Bennett. Chicopee is to the south, maybe i could just relocate there.

    thanks for the sympathy Diva and Sarah. where’s your workshop Sarah? honestly, i’m just thankful to have a space where i can work regardless of whatever challenges it presents. at one point i didn’t. i have a photo of me making art in a driveway as it’s starting to snow.

    Toni, you still have yet to experience the hotter months in there–maybe this year. i think the heat is much preferable, especially with the conveniently accessible backyard “swamp”.

    Terry, i imagine you’d have come up with a much more inventive use for it than i did!

  8. My workshop is on the back of our garage. The pipes to the utility sink are frozen. There is a gas heater. It takes a long time to heat up and my feet never get warm, but you’re right, it’s so nice to have any place to work at all that I should not complain! Stained glass in the cold doesn’t break well so I’m looking forward to warmer weather.

  9. I like the colour of the ice hehe :D

    Well, if you ever get TOO cold, you can always try creating warmer art. Fires or red suns work best ;) . Any studio that has its walls full of red and orange instantly becomes warmer, and that’s a fact!

  10. aw Sara, that really sucks about the pipes. i worked for a few hours yesterday. by the time i packed it in my feet were freezing! i know what we need… http://www.thunderboltsocks.com/

    great idea Angie! i’ll just make a nice hot bonfire from all my unsold art! much of it’s big and red and other warm colors so it’ll be especially warm! plus, i’ll be making space for more new work–Two birds!

  11. NOOOOO !!
    :( ( I could never ever ever burn my artwork. And I did try once. It was an especially sad piece, with an even sadder story. And when it came true, I felt like it brought bad luck. But I had invested so much soul in it that I just couldn’t destroy it.

    I still have it and it constantly reminds me of what happened, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get rid of it.

    Instead of burning them, send them my way. I’ll send you a heater or some wood or coal instead :P
