I can't wait to see where other artists create their wonderfull works.

From the write up it appears they covered Grant Wood's studio. A must see!!

And it looks like I need to order 5 copies for my mother...

I will definately get a copy! I work in my tiny third bedroom studio, but I dream someday of having a much larger studio with more natural light and room to work on much larger pieces! I will keep this issue in my “dream studio” file! Thanks AA for coming up with this one!
