In the new book, Doc: a Novel , Doc Holliday, recovering from a TB lung hemorrhage, weakly asks his visitors to list their happiest moments. My answer to such a question would include the time I spent painting in a large sunlit classroom in the UT art building, surrounded by other students quietly working. Now when I paint it's either the kitchen table or an easel in the bedroom. Last week the journal Science reported that the oldest known art studio has been discovered in South Africa. A coating of bright red powder on the insides of a pair of abalone shells date back to 100,000 years ago. So we humans have been creating studios for a long time. The library has a nice assortment of books describing art studios and a new information guide on how to develop and promote your art career.
