Studio Move, Wow! Photos

How do we accumulate so much stuff in a year.  I packed up on Wednesday and Thursday from my gallery and brought it home.  I know it was all here before, but it looks impossible to fit in again!  Yesterday I went down to the empty gallery and patched the holes in the wall and swept up the floors.  I meant to take a photo of the empty room but didn't.  I probably have one from a year ago.  :)

This is in the downstairs room, the pad on the floor is what I stand on to paint.  It saves the old legs and feet.

Some of the paintings and shelves.

Look into the main part of my home studio.

More junk, uh equipment, on the floor.

And still more.  Will it all fit where I can walk around and paint??
We also went to the UT Baseball game.  The Longhorns won 5 - 4 over Missouri.  It was a very interesting game.  The Horns came from behind and won.  Good for them!!

Here are some photos from the road on the way into Austin to the game.

Some bluebonnets.  We don't have many this year.  :(

The traffic, worse coming toward Bastrop, thankfully.

And, of course, we had to be stopped by the light rail.  Looks empty!
Oh, and there are a couple of tables and a shelf still in the car.  Whew!

I swear that stuff just grows on its own. I certainly don't collect junk.

Bag Blog, now I know! It was 2 SUV's full of stuff and I gave away the desk and a big shelf! I also had the glass shelves that belonged to Lea, so that much more I guess equal to the shelving I have at home. Sad...

Quite a job I know Jo, have done this several times now, always a little overwhelming, but you will get there, have no fear.
Still a little sad to see the gallery empty again though.

Rae, thanks for the encouragement. The nicest thing is that the Bastrop Fine Arts Guild is renting that room so the whole building will continue to be full of art. That had me worried that an insurance or business would go in there. I rejoined the Guild so I will have a few paintings hanging there. :)
