Over ten years ago I had been trying to come up with a business name. This was not an easy thing to do. I wanted something that wasn’t specific to one art style. It needed to be whimsical but meaningful as well. I was looking out the kitchen window of our 1940′s cottage one day and was overwhelmed with the feeling of happiness, thankfulness and contentment. The sun was shining in on me and at that moment, all was right with the world. Not long after that happened, the name Open Window Studio popped into my head. It was the perfect name! For our anniversary, Jeff surprised me by securing openwindowstudio.com. I had no idea at that time how useful this would be. Jeff, thank you for having the foresight to give me this gift! Last Friday I found a plate at a thrift store with a window image on it (top left image) and then looked through my old books for more. As I sit here typing this entry, I am next to another window that looks on to our patio. Again I am happy, thankful and content.
