🤔 Mmmmm let me see now.
Errrrr...let me guess? Fabulous location Sylvia and you only need to look out your window, or sit on the terrace for inspiration. To be disturbed only by the birdsong and sounds of nature.....heaven.
It is beautiful and I love it, I do long extensions up there and have a heater ,lights and my radio..  I also need wellies to get there.  My little deceased dogs bed is still there and get ashes will be scattered up there when it gets drier and warmer. It was a sheep field when we first moved here over twenty years ago so now it’s an acre of wild garden...
It looks and sounds wonderful Sylvia, even in the snow. 🙂
I quite understand why you do not use it in the snow., Sylvia.  My "studio" is in the conservatory and I don't even go there in the rain, even though I do not have to brave the great out doors to go there.
Your studio looks just great, Sylvia.  It's made me look again at my shed.  I used to paint in it in the summer, our conservatory was like an oven in very hot weather.  But two things have happened; first we got a new roof on the conservatory and can use it all year round - even in very hot weather.  Our shed used to be in the shade of a tree in our neighbors garden, which kept it cool in hot weather.  But the tree got damaged in a gale and has been cut down...so now the shed becomes oven-like in very hot weather, fans have no effect.  It's become the ghost of a shed.  Here's some pics... It's very old, leaky, rotten in places, freezing in winter and now too hot in summer.  It really wants pulling down.   Not sure I can justify the expense.  Still, you should never say never...  (I used to tell my grandsons it was my boathouse, all the knick-knacks you can see are 'nautical' things they bought me at car boots.)
Looks good Lew, full of interesting stuff. Seems a shame not to be able to use it. I’ve thought of having a shed type studio in the garden but then you need heating , light etc and it gets more expensive by the minute. Also I’m not sure I would want to leave all my gear in it, lack or security etc. I’m able to paint in the garden when weather permits, and otherwise try to get out and about when I can.
Now there’s a thought...I’m sure we could invent a secure ,bright, pop up sort of thingamajig  ecologically run live in people’s outdoor spaces.   Maybe it could be a challenge...

How about a tent?

A canvas one then you could paint on it.
No security on a tent.  How about a converted portaloo or two?  
Yes a painted tent might work...or maybe we could convert to 'Banksies'.
