This is my comfy chair and a little cosy spot I have made, just for me. It's becoming my 'go to' place. In a corner of my studio space, it is a place I can sit, read, drink tea, or even snooze if I want to. I can browse through some art books, think about a design, do a simple sketch, or even hop online using my laptop. Although I like to 'escape' for a little quiet alone time, someone in the family usually comes to see what I'm up to eventually - which is sometimes nice, and sometimes annoying :-) But hey, that's O.K and part of being in a family!
As a creative person, I find more and more, I really need this time of solitude. I feel more energised, more creative, and plain just happier when I get it. Even if I do nothing more than a simple pencil gesture sketch, and time for a cuppa, it is a re-charge for both myself as a person, and also my art.
By the way - this is one of my fab second hand T.V. chairs that I have been 'collecting' - 1960's vintage, and I love the curvy arms!
What do you do to energise?
I find a room that no one is in and watch out the window at the trees, birds anything moving around that catches my attention. Your space looks cozy and that's a unique vintage chair.
