If I am working in my studio at home it takes about 10 seconds....if I am working at my in-town studio it takes 3 minutes. I used to commute to Manhatten and when I stopped I said Never Again!!!!!I absolutely love working at home...I keep really bizarre hours and have to constantly deleniate my time so that I have off time and don't work an on and off schedule from morning until bedtime.Otherwise I feel like I never have a break. Recently.. I have painted six new commissions and have about six in front of me. I am currently working on Shana's Penny, Chloe, And Tinkerbell!!!!Great subjects.
