Time to Change the Lights

I have complained about the lighting in the studio long enough and now it is time to do something about it. I have decided that this is going to be a permanent studio space and the lights must reflect that. Still I want it to be flexible enough that it can work as a gallery space when I am not working. That means bright task light and adjustable light for displaying the art.

First remove all existing fixtures. No more Victorian ceiling fans and sconces.

Then new tracks will be installed to flank the long walls on either side of the room.

Adjustable fixtures with rheostats for display lights on the art work, should we need dimming... these will be on a different control than the big room lights.
And down the center of the room three banks of fluorescents with color corrected bulbs. It will be blazingly bright, just like my old studio in IL. And of course the beige walls and ceilings will have to be painted white too. I am satisfied that this change will make me WANT to go into the studio and work. And I really need to work. Now that the garden is pretty much under control I am desperate to be creative again.
