The only other time I painted in a bathroom was in Paris iat Hotel la Louisiane. The great thing was I could run around the block for still life subjects like French tea cups, macarons and chocolate boxes.
My setup in Maine was pretty terrific since I had wi-fi handy, just no French chocolate boxes around the corner.
*Warning: the 1st part of this post is a bit of an infomercial...
You may not have noticed but I have a new seating thingie..
I discovered Backjoy in Real Simple magazine and since I had sciattica last year I investigated further.
One of the hazards of painting watercolors all day is you sit too much. You curl over like a caterpillar, which end-of-day doesn't feel so great.
Backjoy feels like my spine is a stack of pancakes straight up instead of the usual curled over position. No negative after effects I'm aware of so far. I can even sit on the floor and sit up straight. The only disadvantage, after taking it with me to Maine (it's light weight) on and off buses/cars, is I left it on the Boston Megabus to New York. Lost and Found can't find it.
Someone is sitting pretty.

I ordered another - this one I'm adding RED stripes so it's easily visible on the AirFrance seat.

What I painted in my Maine bathroom/studio:
Guerlain perfum bottles ...
Les chateaux...
Encore...
FYI - I'm having a 3-day sale next week of French coffee watercolors I found lurking in the closet (just in case there's any room on your kitchen walls, ahem).
