Stephen 379 Report post Posted November 19, 2013 congratulations! Looks like a great space but yeah that view may well make it hard to get anything done during the day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Campbell 1,224 Report post Posted November 19, 2013 That first picture with all the plastic sheeting made me think of "Dexter" ... yikes! I do envy your view and believe it will inspire some fabulous work! Congrats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marcia Selsor 1,786 Report post Posted November 19, 2013 Great view. You're lucky to be in Montana. I lived there for 31 years and I miss it a lot. Nice studio. Should be easy to heat. Enjoy the view!!! Marcia 1 Cass reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrgpots 245 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 It reminds me of Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."......especilly the phrase: My little horse must think it To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. And the final phrase: But I have promises to keep And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. Jed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benzine 1,057 Report post Posted November 21, 2013 I saw the plastic, and had a similar thought, that Chris did.....Though I was thinking a little more a long the lines of American Psycho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Reed 23 Report post Posted November 21, 2013 Wow oh wow. In my studio my windows are all high that they cannot be seen out of. I do not think I would ever get work done with that view. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzine 1,057 Report post Posted November 23, 2013 That is simply an amazing view. Like Brian, my windows are high up, and small, as it's a basement studio. The only way I'd have a good view, is if you moved my house to the edge of town, and my studio to the main floor. Then I'd see some rolling corn fields all year round.

oldlady 2,339 Report post Posted November 23, 2013 it is a great place to work, cass, and i wish you many years of enjoyment there. i have a view of the potomac river in all it's moods. the only trouble is that it is what i am looking at right now, not a view from the studio at the rear of the house.

Denice 604 Report post Posted November 23, 2013 The view is great but what is really nice is the natural light, I had a studio in a basement for 13 years with no windows. I have a great view in my current studio but I was more concerned with the amount of sunlight than the view when I built it. Enjoy your new studio.

Cass 5 Report post Posted November 23, 2013 thanks all, this is the first view of any kind i've had in 20 years of clay...what i'm loving abou tseeing the lake is that it in never the same view twice, every day, every hour of the day, there is some new, subtle aspect to it, always some thing new to see Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cass 5 Report post Posted November 25, 2013 the big thing i notice is, i can see...when bright, directional sunlight is on the edge of a pot you are throwing,, you see EVERYTHING. i actually think this window is upping my quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biglou13 215 Report post Posted November 25, 2013 Now you're just bragging, and making MySpace look dungeon like. you taking applications for short term resident artists?..... (Ps.

Cass 5 Report post Posted November 25, 2013 sorry biglou, you are required to do at least 5 years in a dungeon before moving up to a woodshed or one car garage. no way around that faces southwest, afternoon sun, if there is any , is blaring Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
