Handmade drying shelves for oil paintings

work in progress
oil portrait painting

My husband built these handmade shelves for drying my oil paintings. I’m not sure if I’ve ever shown a photo before. I remember writing about the shelves a couple years ago, when he was building them. I think I got busy filling them up, and forgot to post a photo.

This photo was taken with my iPhone last summer, and it’s not that great. The lighting is horrible out there in my shipping room, but I’m posting it anyway, so you can see my drying situation.

I have more of these shelves lining the walls in my studio, and office. Now that I have them, I have no idea what I’d do without them. I can’t imagine all these painting lying on my work tables, taking up space for a month while they dry. I’d never get any work done.
