The Chaos Theory

Those who know me well also know that I can be <strike>hugely</strike> a little on the messy side, especially when I'm working on a new painting. And to make matters worse, after a while, I find it impossible to ignore the chaos. That's exactly what's happened this week. I've had quite a few ideas for new artwork, but I just can't manage to get going on it when my studio looks like it's been ransacked. So yesterday, I spent a few hours tidying up, and while I still have a few things to take care of (like organising my tax return paperwork - argh!) it's looking much better, and already I'm feeling clearer and more focused. While I'm honest enough to realise I'll never be capable of keeping a fastidiously tidy studio, it doesn't stop me from being smitten when I spy lovely examples of serene (and tidy!) work spaces. And if said workspace happens to overlook a stunning garden (and maybe a pool?) then who am I to argue?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoAy4aViptt9-_MyHDNgQtabVcAcGHEre8F_qtZzRMV8Bc1ywWuOOoeCp5p1bzDwL50Ciq6KCZQnmNWh_rQTJmihd8gXEAoIpvyDR2iOH-SpLrNoIHnIe51EATfraTx8NCBr_d7L59WK4/s1600/poolhouse+studio+maggie+tabberer+barn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="617" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoAy4aViptt9-_MyHDNgQtabVcAcGHEre8F_qtZzRMV8Bc1ywWuOOoeCp5p1bzDwL50Ciq6KCZQnmNWh_rQTJmihd8gXEAoIpvyDR2iOH-SpLrNoIHnIe51EATfraTx8NCBr_d7L59WK4/s640/poolhouse+studio+maggie+tabberer+barn.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Maggie Tabberer's barn in the Southern Highlands</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcfJIWDG2v2vGFaY3FuIlXJiNtCZdjk5KMp9gkG-jI6Lm5IN4gDvLHZ75CXrQ6Cm_0KwfHBtmF4tcows4ldUlSzahMlEvCMRadjVErF7KknsPRs5pZv3G3dT0gEk8MQDKIC7YbVUuvNc/s1600/poolhouse+studio+bellevue+st+avalon1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcfJIWDG2v2vGFaY3FuIlXJiNtCZdjk5KMp9gkG-jI6Lm5IN4gDvLHZ75CXrQ6Cm_0KwfHBtmF4tcows4ldUlSzahMlEvCMRadjVErF7KknsPRs5pZv3G3dT0gEk8MQDKIC7YbVUuvNc/s640/poolhouse+studio+bellevue+st+avalon1.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Avalon stunner via <a href="http://realestate.com.au/">realestate.com.au</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBUM3OBREF-pkSulc1U12hlgDFEV2QFSGL0y8rQ_IXGtEHpYxAMcqvzKSJbKorMQnx7V1aGaKftLXSVq_sLprv5rOxPfxh0lx5RxHRXFJzpVeuLz7g6FgFS5Bh5O10vCMvVK6Sli0_Rwo/s1600/poolhouse+studio+carithers_exterior_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="441" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBUM3OBREF-pkSulc1U12hlgDFEV2QFSGL0y8rQ_IXGtEHpYxAMcqvzKSJbKorMQnx7V1aGaKftLXSVq_sLprv5rOxPfxh0lx5RxHRXFJzpVeuLz7g6FgFS5Bh5O10vCMvVK6Sli0_Rwo/s640/poolhouse+studio+carithers_exterior_2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">source</span> <span style="font-size: x-small;">unknown</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1VXfDA5jma39EfU59wzZXHAHTT6lq7V4QTMojw2sH6pfHicSlRY97nhrBXgfPd-OjFW7Ls8rJ1EgZfP-QhFXHkuH9bV1gFb5qNg27lq9ltWlNgZZTC698wvxquUne7DbNS9VD4lzu5Zw/s1600/poolhouse+studio+carithers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1VXfDA5jma39EfU59wzZXHAHTT6lq7V4QTMojw2sH6pfHicSlRY97nhrBXgfPd-OjFW7Ls8rJ1EgZfP-QhFXHkuH9bV1gFb5qNg27lq9ltWlNgZZTC698wvxquUne7DbNS9VD4lzu5Zw/s640/poolhouse+studio+carithers.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">source</span> <span style="font-size: x-small;">unknown</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Would it be too greedy to want this next one just a little bigger?

And that's a very good thing. Because I would have to be the messiest person alive when I'm in the middle of a painting. I've tried many times to keep the chaos under control, but it's just not in my nature.<br /><br />To start with, the room was dark and depressing, boasting exposed brick walls that sucked all the available light out of the room. And before I claimed it for myself, it had become a general dumping ground for all our excess stuff.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-s602KhDtgEHm3763dgj7hSEYDwEkWLAf4S9utGXN9y4RIxSCRQPuGiAiCDpbX21kbLT8WaTxjhfkYxBBOYB3UQZ9Orhyphenhyphen7dbHDvrjP1Xb96zP5N_dVERjQ0i9bYG2Zi3i5N18PJnB860/s1600-h/office8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-s602KhDtgEHm3763dgj7hSEYDwEkWLAf4S9utGXN9y4RIxSCRQPuGiAiCDpbX21kbLT8WaTxjhfkYxBBOYB3UQZ9Orhyphenhyphen7dbHDvrjP1Xb96zP5N_dVERjQ0i9bYG2Zi3i5N18PJnB860/s320/office8.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJFH5wLDf0to_T6M1JnOshbR4WDY3F2j1wJ9Bpe_q0LIcpX7LDP1K3SXSMLg7jBj85H_keT5QUA0FnKyfDhYzkKfLssw4nQ91uOfawp-_CrZ2VnSljtBmwMSWutYJRnCxqK4IPgYkp5iQ/s1600-h/office7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJFH5wLDf0to_T6M1JnOshbR4WDY3F2j1wJ9Bpe_q0LIcpX7LDP1K3SXSMLg7jBj85H_keT5QUA0FnKyfDhYzkKfLssw4nQ91uOfawp-_CrZ2VnSljtBmwMSWutYJRnCxqK4IPgYkp5iQ/s320/office7.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhncQovV2R5_G-TYxcTMqBPoih6P2ZarDS1ViXjEkjxCinsskrmeYhnAGS_edJxHFlebdWLimSiX4WyHs_rOghAAuveMBk8bboap2k4uCEFYbo4n5qdF4u4FhZbd4twAMUh_MsjNSCsWf0/s1600-h/office3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhncQovV2R5_G-TYxcTMqBPoih6P2ZarDS1ViXjEkjxCinsskrmeYhnAGS_edJxHFlebdWLimSiX4WyHs_rOghAAuveMBk8bboap2k4uCEFYbo4n5qdF4u4FhZbd4twAMUh_MsjNSCsWf0/s320/office3.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm always amazed at the difference a few litres of white paint makes. Actually make that ten litres. Those brick walls were thirsty and so porous, it took three coats before it even looked like covering. But it was definitely worth it and the amount of light in the room is quite amazing. We pulled up the musty old carpet, and gave the floors a makeover too - a soft french grey.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIF2sPfmGW-EeaIkObwI_vk-tyEAJPe-eBEF6RohWb9eE4izWOeXT2ahi2AzBpLuGO9FcjBE388KTW1eLUquUMLuysQ-oqwpf3b0WQ69eCbqtQBG1Fa8nNu4PZJyWR-gyVKklWUYp6jhQ/s1600-h/office5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
