I took a picture of my studio after my 15 week intensive of thesis. I realized I left a lasting colorful impression on the floor. (There could be worse ways of leaving your mark) I loved being able to just paint and not worry about the mess I left. For me being careful keeps my expression from coming out. I need to move!

Now that I am done with school and getting back into my own studio I am a little worried. When it’s concrete and not your own floor it matters little but that nice wood I have in my painting corner… I’ll just have to get famous and then it will be a selling point I guess… “This is where THE TRACY PIPER painted those amazing paintings!” Or I’ll have to find a much bigger rug I don’t care about. Hrrmmm, here we come craigslist.
