Getting a late start

I had intended to begin painting at the first of the year.  But I'm off to a late start.  I'll be taking my time this time around, so I'm in no rush.  I'd like to spend more time working from life, so this is my new side project.  I'm not setting really any other ground rules at the moment.  I hope to find time a few days a week.  The initial studio set up for this project.  I'll update you as things change.
