A Studio in the Sky

After reading Moon in the Afternoon, I started thinking about what my imaginary studio would look like. Since this quarantine started, the only thing that has brought me comfort was drawing fish for some reason. Fish symbolize health, creativity, abundance, endurance, etc. and I wanted to somehow incorporate that into my imaginary studio. I have also always been fascinated with the sky, primarily clouds. 

So, I created a studio in the sky with fish that float by the windows. I would like my space to have just the simple necessities: paper, a desk and chair, paint and brushes. I would also like my studio to have a lot of natural light and a space big enough to do what I need to do.

The process was interesting. As I was working on it, I kept changing and regenerating ideas. I thought painting on glass would be interesting because I felt as if it would add to the feeling of fictional studio space.  I also thought about how much information I wanted to add and kept scraping off the unnecessary parts and just kept with what I thought would give enough information.
