Downsizing and Living Minimally



Dreaming of Travel and a Simpler Life 

We just took the first step to a new journey in life.
So excited to begin this journey,  even though we may be taking baby steps forward.
Mike and I decided we needed to give it a test run and see how well we could do living minimally and have an adventure.
If all goes well and we can stand each other after living in small quarters, we plan to downsize completely to this home on wheels.





How do you downsize studio equipment and materials and increase creativity?

That is the big decision that sets in front of me now. So for now, I am thinking, my camera will fit nicely in the new life.  And I believe I can manage sketch books and  pens and watercolors.  What better studio besides the outdoors and nature?  Right?
I told Mike that he might need to buy a trailer to pull behind the trailer,  but I didn't get a positive response to that suggestion.
As I downsize,  I will have lots of studio equipment and materials and books to sell.  So if any artists out there keep watching.  Also,  after I give my children and grandchild first choice,  I will be having a final clearance sell of artwork!
So, I am anticipating new inspiration and renewed creativity,  even though the way I work may change drastically.
