a summer shoot on a rainy day

at the moment I am doing some more work to the studio, but right now I am taking a much-needed break from painting, building cupboards, shelves and sweeping dust off every possible surface, before sweeping it once again. I’m planning to take some images of the studio tomorrow, [...]
